hardware and software system that is able to perform part or all of the DDT on a sustained basis

NOTE 1 to entry In contrast to this generic term for any level 1-5 system, the specific term for a level 3-5 system is “Automated Driving System (ADS).” Given the similarity between the generic term, “driving automation system,” and the level 3-5-specific term, “Automated Driving System,” the latter term is intentionally capitalized when spelled out and reduced to its acronym, “ADS”, as much as possible, while “driving automation system” should not be.

NOTE 2 to entry A driving automation system includes any system capable of level 1-5 driving automation.

NOTE 3 to entry Driving automation levels are defined in ISO/SAE 22736, which is also known as SAE J3016.

NOTE 4 to entry Driving automation levels include “level 1 driving automation”, “level 2 driving automation”, “level 3 ADS”, “level 4 ADS” and “level 5 ADS”.
