There are several differences between cloud and parallel database which include load sharing, joins, query optimization, route scheduling and resource optimization. The first difference is load sharing. In parallel database load sharing is balanced since the optimization algorithm works on the kernel level and routing protocol determines the best route to find it. As a consequence, load keeps distributing on the server side. Moreover, in parallel database table look up is not needed because heuristic

cruise control. Level 2 automation is when the driver still needs to control the basic driving maneuvers, but now the car has some ability to accelerate/decelerate and turn the wheel. A great example of this are Ford vehicles that have the ability to parallel park on their own. After Level 2 automation, the autonomous driving starts to get more involved and can do more difficult tasks. Level 2 is more human intervention and Level 3 and up is more vehicle intervention. Level 3, conditional driving, is
