Autonomous driving technology can be divided into levels L0 to L5 according to functional levels. Among them, L1 to L2 level technologies are classified as advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) solutions, while L3 to L5 level technologies constitute autonomous driving system (ADS) solutions.

The core of autonomous driving technology is built on a three-layer architecture: perception layer, decision-making layer and execution layer. The perception layer mainly obtains environmental information through on-board sensors and roadside assistance systems; the decision-making layer uses algorithms and application software to make decisions and formulate action strategies; the execution layer is responsible for controlling vehicle operations according to the instructions of the decision-making layer.
