Which level requires the driver to intervene while the vehicle takes full control?

• A. No automation
• B. Partial automation
• C. Driver support
• D. Conditional automation

Answer: (B)

Partial automation is the level where the car can take over both steering and speed, but the driver must stay attentive and ready to take back control at any moment. The system handles the driving task, yet the human remains responsible for monitoring the road and intervening if needed. This exactly fits a situation where the vehicle is driving itself while the driver must intervene when the system requests or encounters a task it cannot handle. In other levels, the driver either does everything themselves, or the system only assists with one function, or it can drive in certain conditions with the driver only occasionally stepping in.
