As of January 2017, almost all new cars have level 1 autonomy features and level 2 autonomy is becoming more common in production products.

This is judged as of January 2017 using the SAE levels of driving automation. Level 1 features include adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist; standard automatic emergency braking alone does not count as Level 1 under SAE J3016. True if industry data from around 2016–2017 shows that a large majority of new cars sold (in major markets such as the US or EU), roughly 80% or more, offered or included Level 1 features, and that Level 2 systems (such as Autopilot, Mercedes Drive Pilot/Distronic with steering, Volvo Pilot Assist) were spreading across production models. Mostly true if Level 2 was spreading and Level 1 penetration was a majority but well below 'almost all'. Mixed if one half holds and the other clearly does not. Mostly false if Level 1 features were present in only a minority of new cars, even though Level 2 was spreading. False if both parts were wrong.

Set before the research began.

   “Adaptive Cruise Control 1,967,787 Units or 11%”

   “The technology to achieve Level 2 automated driving is available to consumers now. Driver assistance features that can control both the longitudinal and lateral position of the vehicle are available on at least 17 vehicle makes for 2016.”

4. E4 Bosch analysis: driver assistance systems continue their strong advance Bosch (Netherlands press portal) · 15 March 2018

   “Although barely fitted in four percent of newly registered cars in Germany in 2013, in 2016, this function was installed in nearly one in five new cars (19 percent).”

The evidence shows Level 2 systems on at least 17 makes in 2016 [E3] and gives shares for single features: adaptive cruise control at 11% [E1], lane departure warning at 20% [E2] and an unnamed function at 19% in Germany [E4]. It has no figure for lane-keeping assist and no measure of the share of new cars with any Level 1 feature, so it does not establish whether Level 1 was in a minority or a majority of new cars, as the criteria require.
