Level 0-5 is terminology used by SAE to describe the range of fully manual (Level 0) to fully autonomous (Level 5). One would expect that in an article about Autonomous Vehicles, L{0,1,2,3,4,5} would describe the level of autonomy that the vehicle provides, but the article instead uses these to describe arbitrary thresholds of a graph demonstrating the capability of an AI.

Fair point. I'm shitty at drawing mathematical graphs.

I'll update at some point with different notation.
