Preliminary Statement of Policy Concerning Automated Vehicles Level 0 (No automation) The human is in complete and sole control of safety-critical functions (brake, throttle, steering) at all times. Level 1 (Function-specific automation) The human has complete authority, but cedes limited control of certain functions to the vehicle in certain normal driving or crash imminent situations. Example: electronic stability control Level 2 (Combined function automation) Automation of at least two control functions designed to work in harmony (e.g., adaptive cruise control and lane centering) in certain driving situations. Enables hands-off-wheel and foot-off-pedal operation. Driver still responsible for monitoring and safe operation and expected to be available at all times to resume control of the vehicle. Example: adaptive cruise control in conjunction with lane centering Level 3 (Limited self-driving) Vehicle controls all safety functions under certain traffic and environmental conditions. Human can cede monitoring authority to vehicle, which must alert driver if conditions require transition to driver control. Driver expected to be available for occasional control. Example: Google car Level 4 (Full self-driving automation) Vehicle controls all safety functions and monitors conditions for the entire trip. The human provides destination or navigation input but is not expected to be available for control during the trip. Vehicle may operate while unoccupied. Responsibility for safe operation rests solely on the automated system SmartDrivingCars & Trucks What is a SmartDrivingCar?

Stay in lane Don’t hit anything in front of you If car heading towards you in the other lane, crosses over to your lane, try to avoid hitting it Driving Functions Change lane; merge Stop at the correct location when at head of queue Choose correct Stay in lane Proceed when traffic control permits

Adhere diligently to the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Consistent signal locations Only make infrastructure investments that will help conventional drivers Traffic Control Devices

Good Paint Lane Markings Good Surface

Shoulders Safe Havens “Runaway” Ramps Rest Areas

What best helps today’s conventional drivers Conclusion: Good Paint; Good Signs Good Paint Good Signs

Thank You Discussion!
