This one is simple, it’s when you completely drive yourself.
Cars that we mostly drive today belong here, so they can take over some non-vital processes involved in driving
When the system can take over control in some specific use cases but driver still has to monitor system
driver doesn’t have to monitor the system but has to be in a position where the control can quickly be resumed
system can cope with all the situations automatically during the whole journey and no driver is required. Which means you have no choice
there is no need for a human operator for a specific use case or a part of a journey
