Scope
Classifies driving automation into six levels (0-5) for M and N category vehicles. Defines the driver/user role, dynamic driving task (DDT), DDT fallback, minimal risk condition and minimal risk manoeuvre, specifying how driving responsibility shifts between the human driver and the automation system across levels. Effective 1 March 2022.
