TL;DR

A three-level taxonomy inspired by autonomous driving that distinguishes degrees of autonomy along a roadmap from today’s AI-assisted development workflows to fully autonomous software development in which AI systems autonomously identify demands and design, implement, verify, and maintain software without human oversight is introduced.
