Definitions

Light vehicles (LV) include passenger cars, whereas heavy vehicles (HV) include trucks and buses.

Driverless operation means operating vehicles without a human safety driver, that is SAE Level 4 or 5.

Operational design domain (ODD) is the operating conditions in which the SDS can operate, which may be limited in the environment or traffic characteristics. A restricted ODD is limited by design to specific areas or industries, for example highway driving only, or private-ground operation in mine sites or ports.
