In an Enclosed Vehicle or Operate Enclosed Equipment

Work context · O*NET

In an Enclosed Vehicle or Operate Enclosed Equipment is a work-context dimension in the O*NET database — one of the standardized conditions O*NET uses to describe the environment a job is done in , grouped under Physical Work Conditions. O*NET defines it by asking workers: "How often does this job require working in a closed vehicle or operate enclosed equipment (like a car)?." It is rated for 893 occupations, which average 2.21 out of 5 (moderate relative to other context dimensions).

How it's measured

O*NET rates each occupation on this dimension on a 1–5 context-importance scale (the CX scale), where higher means the condition is a more frequent or more central part of the work. The figures on this page are those occupation-level ratings — a description of working conditions as workers report them, not a judgment about pay, difficulty, or whether a job is "good."

Economy-wide average 2.21 / 5 Mean across all 893 rated occupations
Range across occupations 1.00–5.00 Lowest to highest occupation rating (spread 4.00)
Intensity vs. other dimensions 34th pct Where this dimension's average ranks among all O*NET work-context dimensions

How AI is used by roles where in an enclosed vehicle or operate enclosed equipment is central

A working condition is not itself "being automated" — but we can look at the occupations where it is most central and ask how those people actually use AI. This rolls the Anthropic Economic Index per-role signal up across the roles that rate this condition 3 or higher (CX-rating-weighted). 46.6% of the 221 occupations where this condition is present carry observed AI-usage data (103 roles).

Across those roles, 39.9% of AI conversations are people working with AI and 30.2% hand a task to AI , with an average autonomy of 3.48 / 5.

Collaboration pattern Share What it means
directive 26.1% AI does it; you give the instruction
learning 20.9% you ask AI to explain or teach
task iteration 17.5% you and AI go back and forth
feedback loop 4.1% AI does it, then adjusts from your feedback
validation 1.4% you do it; AI checks your work

Roles behind this signal

The occupations where this condition is most central and that also have the most AEI data. "Works with AI" is the role's share of conversations that augment rather than automate.

Occupation Condition (1–5) Works with AI Autonomy
Forestry and Conservation Science Teachers, Postsecondary 3.0 65.3% 4.0/5
Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Technical and Scientific Products 3.6 51.1% 3.0/5
Real Estate Sales Agents 4.5 62.2% 3.0/5
Computer, Automated Teller, and Office Machine Repairers 3.2 33.4% 4.0/5
Chief Executives 3.1 65.7% 3.0/5
Sales Representatives, Wholesale and Manufacturing, Except Technical and Scientific Products 4.3 54.8% 3.0/5
Correctional Officers and Jailers 3.2 52.7% 3.0/5
Civil Engineering Technicians 3.5 53.0% 4.0/5
Fundraisers 3.4 57.7% 3.0/5
Geoscientists, Except Hydrologists and Geographers 3.0 59.1% 4.0/5
Soil and Plant Scientists 3.4 85.1% 4.0/5
Real Estate Brokers 4.6 44.9% 3.0/5

Source: Anthropic Economic Index (2026-01-15-v4-plus-2025-03-27-v2) over a sample of Claude.ai Free and Pro conversations — not all AI tools and not the whole workforce. This is a role-weighted projection from AEI-linked occupations where this condition is central, not a direct measurement of AI use for the condition itself. Shares are weighted by how central the condition is to each role; some conversations are left unclassified by Anthropic's taxonomy, so shares need not sum to 100.
