Abstract

As a sales volume of autonomous vehicle continually grows up, regulations on this new technology are being introduced around the world. For example, safety standards for the Level 3 automated driving system was promulgated in December 2019 by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport of Korean government. In order to promote the development of autonomous vehicle technology and ensure its safety simultaneously, the regulations on the automated driving systems should be phased in to keep pace with technology progress and market expansion. However, according to SAE J3016, which is well known to classify the level of the autonomous vehicle technologies, the description for classification is rather abstract. Therefore it is necessary to describe the automated driving system in more detail in terms of the 'Level.' In this study, the functions and characteristics of automated driving system are carefully classified at each level based on the commentary in the Informal Working Group (IWG) of the UN WP29. In particular, regarding the Level 4, technical issues are characterized with respect to vehicle tasks, driver tasks, system performance and regulations. The important features of the autonomous vehicles to meet Level 4 are explored on the viewpoints of driver replacement, emergency response and connected driving performance.
