SAE's J3016™ Levels of Driving Automation is an
example of SAE IP that is often used and referenced
by other organizations. SAE permits this chart (shown
above and here) to be used freely, so long as it is
used as-is and appropriate attribution is given to SAE.
When referencing a level in this chart, SAE should
be included as a prefix. The proper use would be SAE
Level # or SAE International's Level #. Simply calling
'Level #' or 'L#' are in violation of SAE IP policy.
" SAE was recently notified that an organization
had improperly created and distributed a derivative
work based on SAE's J3016 Levels of Driving
Automation chart, " said Greg Bradley, SAE general
counsel. " We took swift and appropriate action to
ensure that the improper use was resolved, and will
continue to do so. "
