BMW Explains The Five Levels Of Autonomous Driving

While the company has always put an emphasis on being the ultimate driving machine, the automaker has acknowledged "sheer driving pleasure will also be defined by how automated driving can make life easier for our customers." As a result, BMW has released a new video which highlights the five levels of autonomous driving.

In the clip, the company explains they already offer the second level of autonomous driving technology which allows the driver to remove their hands from the steering wheel for brief periods of time while the vehicle drives itself. BMW is expected to introduce a third level system in the next few years and it will enable drivers to focus on other tasks until the car requires their attention.
