Ohnsman (2013) states Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system, an advanced autopilot driver-assistance enhanced with automation for navigating roads and enabling driverless parking. They opt that autopilot has proven beneficial in aviation and should similarly be adopted in automobiles for improved safety and efficiency. Vehicle automation is evolving through six levels, aiming for full autonomy. Synopsys (n.d.) states the progression from Level 0, with no automation, to Level 5, where vehicles operate without human input. Key developments include adaptive cruise control at Level 1 and semi-automated driving at Level 2, leading up to complete autonomy at Level 5. The article also states that the gradual advancement signifies the automotive industry's effort to minimize human intervention, thereby enhancing safety and efficiency. Achieving Level 5 autonomy represents a major shift in transportation, aligned with technological innovation, showcasing the future of vehicular trave...

In the article, Ohnsman (2013)  states the introduction of Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) system into vehicles, an advanced autopilot driver-assistance system enhanced with automation software to assist in road navigation and enable driverless parking. They opt that autopilot has proven beneficial in aviation and should similarly be adopted in automobiles for improved safety and efficiency. According to Synopsys (n.d.) , the spectrum of automation in vehicles is categorized into levels ranging from 0 to 5. Initially, vehicles at Level 0 lacked any form of driving automation. Progressing to Level 1, vehicles incorporated a single automated system, such as adaptive cruise control, to assist in steering or acceleration while maintaining a safe following distance. At Level 2, or semi-automated driving, the systems controlled both steering and acceleration/deceleration, with the stipulation that drivers must continuously monitor road conditions. The introduction of Level 3 automation b...

The autopilot system in vehicles benefits driver in the modern day according to  Ohnsman (2013)   "Autopilot systems in cars help enhance safety and convenience for driver" The “Full Self-Driving Capability” (FSD) is an advanced autopilot driver-assistance incorporated with partial vehicle automation software that helps with road navigation and driverless parking (Tesla, n.d.) . Scullion (2023) mentioned Tesla’s autopilot driving technology albeit FSD, driving requires attention and supervision as FSD features do not make the vehicle fully autonomous. Tesla integrates Level 0 to 5 driving automation. Synopsys (n.d.) elaborates that all level 0 vehicles are manually controlled with the driver navigating through the road. Systems such as emergency braking do not qualify as automation. Level 1 features one automated system, specifically adaptive cruise control which assists in steering or accelerating while monitoring the safety distance of the car ahead. Level 2 semi driving a...
