Certain advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS)—Level 1 technologies—are expected to be offered as standard in most new vehicles in the US by 2022. Globally, some Level 2 systems developed for autonomous vehicles (AVs) are also being incorporated in auto models. Paradoxically, offering human drivers the safety and driving experience afforded by these technologies could thwart the adoption of fully automated vehicles and Transport-as-a-Service models, as there is a risk that buyers and investors lose interest in the hard-to-reach Level 2030 dream. Currently, the robo-human hybrid is predicted to be the norm beyond 5.
