7's and 8's, an AP isn't autonomous, in other words it can't control the aircraft through all phases of flight, while dealing with exceptions within its operating envelope without human intervention or presence.
They may both have a lot in common, such as actuators etc, the difference is in the additional software, logic and telemetry needed to dispense with the human.
