ADS-equipped vehicle¶
vehicle integrated with an ADS
Clause: 3.7.3.15
Admitted term: AV
Admitted term: automated vehicle
Deprecated term: autonomous vehicle
Note 1 to entry: The term "autonomous vehicle" is also often used in a colloquial form and is even less well defined. The term is particularly problematic because the word "autonomous" has been used for a long time in the robotics and artificial intelligence research communities to signify systems that have the ability and authority to make decisions independently and self-sufficiently. Due to its imprecise and overly broad meaning, use of the term "autonomous vehicle" is discouraged.
Note 2 to entry: The terms "automated vehicle" and "AV" are often used in a colloquial form. However, these terms can be used to mean either an "ADS-equipped vehicle" or a "vehicle with an engaged ADS". The term "ADS-equipped vehicle" is preferred since it is more precise and descriptive in its meaning.
Note 3 to entry: This term can be, and when possible should be, refined by identifying the level of automation. For example, the terms "level 5 ADS-equipped vehicle" and "level 5 automated vehicle" should be interpreted as "ADS-equipped vehicle where the ADS is a level 5 ADS."
Note 4 to entry: This term only describes the capabilities of the vehicle, not its operational state. In other words, the term applies as long as the ADS is a component of the vehicle, independent of whether the dynamic driving task is actively engaged or not.
History note: Introduced in ISO/TS 14812:2022
