Abstract
Autonomous driving techniques comprise determining a Form of Way (FOW) classification of a road along which a vehicle is traveling and when the determined FOW classification is FOW 1 or FOW 9, permitting level 2 autonomous driving of the vehicle. When the determined FOW classification is FOW 2, the techniques determine whether a set of operating conditions relating to autonomous driving satisfies a set of criteria that assesses a set of upcoming stubs along a future section of the road along which the vehicle will potentially travel are satisfied and when the set of criteria are satisfied, permitting level 2 autonomous driving of the vehicle and when the set of criteria are not initially satisfied or are subsequently no longer satisfied, not permitting or at least temporarily interrupting level 2 autonomous driving of the vehicle.
