Driving automation system

Current consensus

Driving automation system refers to the hardware and software that are collectively capable of performing part or all of the dynamic driving task on a sustained basis.

Explanation

This term is used generically to describe any system capable of Level 1 to 5 driving automation. In contrast to this generic term for any Level 1 to 5 system, the specific term for a Level 3 to 5 system is automated driving system (ADS). Given the similarity between the generic term, driving automation system, and the Level 3 to 5 specific term, Automated Driving System,” the latter term should be capitalized when spelled out and reduced to its abbreviation, ADS, as much as possible, while the former term should not be.
