  • Mil-std-882e standard defines software control levels based on potential danger.
  • Level 1: Software has direct control of immediately dangerous actions.
  • Level 2: (a) Direct control with delayed danger or (b) human must react immediately to software signals to prevent danger.
  • Level 3: Software suggests actions, but there's time for independent verification.
  • Level 4: Software has auxiliary use, not involved in critical control.
  • Relevance highlighted with LLMs and computer vision expanding software roles.
