From driving automation systems to autonomous vehicles: clarifying the terminology
This work aims to clarify terminology for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals, but it is incremental as it focuses on definitional refinement rather than new technological advances.
The paper addresses the cluttered terminology in autonomous driving, highlighting the need for clear definitions to reduce misuse and confusion.
The terminological landscape is rather cluttered when referring to autonomous driving or vehicles. A plethora of terms are used interchangeably, leading to misuse and confusion. With its technological, social and legal progress, it is increasingly imperative to establish a clear terminology that allows each concept to be placed in its corresponding place.
