It's been a hot summer of self-driving car news. Ford announced it's skipping over Level 3 and will put a fleet of Level 4 autonomous vehicles on the road in 2021. Mobileye and Delphi promised Level 4/5 self-drivers by 2019. Sounds exciting--if you have any idea what those numbers mean. Even when they're using words, automakers obfuscate what their cars can do.
