What Is Level 2 Autonomous?

Level 2 Autonomous vehicles, as defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE),  provide partial automation of driving functions. Level 2 Autonomous vehicles require “the driving mode-specific execution by one or more driver assistance systems of both steering and acceleration/deceleration.” For example, a vehicle with both adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assistance would qualify as Level 2 Autonomous because the vehicle executes both acceleration and deceleration and some steering inputs.
