Which autonomy level requires the driver to monitor the vehicle at all times?

• A. Level 2.
• B. Level 0.
• C. Level 5.
• D. Level 3.

Answer: (A)

In driving automation, how much the car handles versus how much the human must supervise defines the level. Level 2 is partial automation: the system can control both steering and acceleration, but it isn’t capable of handling every situation on its own. Because the environment and the car’s behavior can still require human judgment, the driver must continuously monitor the vehicle and be ready to take over immediately. This ongoing supervision is why monitoring at all times is essential in Level 2. In higher levels, the system takes on more tasks and the driver can disengage more, while Level 3 requires the driver to intervene when asked and Level 5 requires no driver monitoring at all.
