Research Project Fact SheetSACE Expo

Our vision is to accelerate the safe and successful introduction of driverless vehicles to Australia and New Zealand, and we are supported by over 100 partners from across the automotive, insurance, transport,

motoring, parking, communications, banking, logistics, defence, technology and research sectors, as well as local, state and national governments.

THE PAST

Driver Assistance

You complete the majority of the driving task, with

assistance for either steering, acceleration

or braking.

WHERE WE ARE NOW

Partial Automation

Some automated functions for steering,

acceleration and braking - but your hands must still

be on the wheel at all times.

2017-2020

Conditional Automation

Hands o� the wheel! All aspects of driving are

automated - but you must be ready to take back

control when prompted.

2020-2025

High Automation

Driver no longer needed! You can take back

control if needed, but the car will work fully autonomously.

2026-2030

Full Automation

We won't even need a steering wheel or

driver's seat.

THE PAST

No Automation

Everything is done manually, there's not even power-assisted steering!
