a vehicle that can be driven using a remote control
a vehicle with internal communication systems
a vehicle that can connect to other vehicles through a network
a vehicle that can only brake automatically

Explanation:

Analyze the question and definitions

The question asks: "What is a connected vehicle?"
We can look at the provided vocabulary definitions in the image for context. Specifically, the definition of a vehicle ad hoc network (VANET) is "a network created between vehicles or between vehicles and infrastructure."

Evaluate the options

• Option 1: "a vehicle that can be driven using a remote control" — This describes a remote-controlled or teleoperated vehicle, not the standard definition of a connected vehicle.
• Option 2: "a vehicle with internal communication systems" — While connected vehicles have internal networks (like CAN buses), internal-only communication does not make them "connected" to the outside world or external networks.
• Option 3: "a vehicle that can connect to other vehicles through a network" — This aligns directly with the concept of In-Vehicle Networks and VANETs, where vehicles communicate externally with other vehicles (V2V) or infrastructure (V2I) over a network.
• Option 4: "a vehicle that can only brake automatically" — This describes an automated safety feature (like Autonomous Emergency Braking), not connectivity.

Select the correct answer

Option 3 is the most accurate definition of a connected vehicle because connectivity relies on establishing network links with external entities.

Answer:

• a vehicle that can be driven using a remote control
• a vehicle with internal communication systems
• a vehicle that can connect to other vehicles through a network (Correct answer)
• a vehicle that can only brake automatically
