While they believe vehicle automation will significantly reduce accidents , British insurers , including Jaguar , have voiced concerns over ‘ autonomous vehicles ’ as vehicles with different levels of autonomy take to the road . The company have called for international regulators to make clear distinctions between assisted and automated systems , and set out criteria for marketing such vehicles . Shaw continues, “Vehicle Manufacturers should be judicious in badging and marketing such systems, avoiding terms which could be misinterpreted as denoting full autonomy. It is suggested that " intermediate automated systems " , which have significant self - driving capability but require drivers to reclaim control of the vehicle in certain situations , could leave drivers confused and lead to a short - term tick up in accidents .
