Definitions:
Connected Vehicle: Equipped with technology that enables a connection between other vehicles, infrastructure and a consumer wireless device
Automated Vehicle: Uses mechatronics and sometimes connectivity to gather information and autonomously perform driving functions. Automated technology includes lane departure warning systems, emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
Autonomous Vehicle: A vehicle equipped with radar, remote sensing, cameras and other technology to perform many or all of the driving functions - better known as a self-driving car. Automotive experts think partially autonomous vehicles will be sold by 2020.
Mobility (as defined by the auto industry): refers to getting goods and people from point A to point B. This encompasses vehicles for personal use, fleet vehicles, public transit, ride-sharing, bicycles, car-sharing, self-driving cars, plans, trains, and essentially any other form of motorized transport. It often includes an on-demand component.

The Autonomous Levels
0. No Automation: Driver is in complete Control.
1. Function-specific Automation: Vehicle Stability Controls - These work with the driver to assist when they are making evasive maneuvers. "One or more specific control functions."
2. Combined-function Automation: Automation of at least two primary controls. An example is adaptive cruise, combined with lane centering (lane departure avoidance)
3. Limited Self-driving Automation: For periods of time can be completely self-driving with some driver intervention. In specific driving scenarios, like on a highway or well-marked road, the car can drive itself, and provide adequate transition time for the driver to take control (Think, Google Car)
4. Full Self-driving Automation: Driver doesn't have to do anything but enter the destination.
5. Fully Autonomous System: Vehicle performs equal to that of a human driver, in every driving scenario - including extreme environments.
