Autonomous vehicles on the higher end of the technological scale may only be a couple of years away from greater adoption, panelists said at a CES 2022 session Jan. 5.

Level 1 is the lowest class of automation and is defined by including a single automated system for driver assistance such as steering or cruise control. Level 4, on the other hand, does not require human interaction in most circumstances. But a driver still has the option to manually override.
