Autonomous Company
An emerging enterprise operating paradigm in which AI agents handle a large volume of repetitive execution tasks while humans focus on strategic goal-setting and directional oversight. The concept draws an analogy to the human-machine division of responsibility found in autonomous vehicle operation.

An engineer who previously worked at an autonomous driving company mentioned that within the team there had been serious disagreement over whether known defects in the perception system met the standard of acceptable risk, and ultimately some members chose to transfer or resign.
A "self-driving company" refers to a form of enterprise organization that is deeply driven by AI and capable of operating autonomously with minimal human intervention.
In the enterprise scenario mapping, L1/L2 correspond to the currently mainstream "AI-as-a-tool" phase, while L5 represents the ideal state in which AI can independently handle the vast majority of business scenarios.
"Self-driving companies" face challenges including accountability attribution, reliability, customer trust, regulatory compliance, and organizational role restructuring.
The vast majority of enterprises will remain in the "driver assistance" or "partial automation" stage for the foreseeable future, with AI handling a large number of specific tasks while humans retain decision-making authority at critical nodes.
