Autonomous driving to increase fleet safety

By Daniel Bland- November 24, 2018

As the vast majority of traffic accidents are caused by human error - more than 90% in some estimates - we cannot go without considering the possibility of eventually removing the human factor from driving.

As such, most automakers are working on plans to eventually launch autonomous vehicles (AV), a growing technology which is divided into five levels. For now, AV is not meant to replace drivers but more to assist them with getting from one place to another in the safest and most efficient way.

While levels one and two AV entail advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) supporting the motorist in some aspects of driving, level 3 involves more automation but on a conditional basis, level 4 (high automation), and level 5 (complete automation). See more here.
