In order to grasp the variety of use cases and specifications for autonomous driving, proxies are sought, which on the one hand make use of distinguishing characteristics, and on the other hand describe typical usage scenarios for autonomous driving. Besides the nomenclature, the use cases are defined by their distinguishing characteristics. In addition, the use cases are supposed to serve as reference scenarios for further discussion. It is not intended to exclude other examples. Definitions and assumptions are to be examined critically. Desired results from working with these use cases are a founded change of definitions and assumptions as well as possible controversy, which arise in between the different topics (different parameter sensitivity).
