Connected and autonomous vehicle (CVAV) technologies have the potential to improve safety, accessibility, and congestion but depending on implementation policies they could also increase pollution, congestion, and inequity. This page provides basic information about CVAVs and highlights local and state projects and initiatives.
Developed by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the Levels of Automation graphic provides common definitions to facilitate communication focusing on six levels that span from no automation (0) to full automation (5). An important distinction occurs between levels 2 and 3 where the automated driving system takes over the dynamic task of driving. The graphic also provides descriptions and examples.
