Capitalized software development consists of software development costs intended for integration into customer products.

The Company recorded approximately $16 million, $15 million and $13 million of amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The Company currently estimates annual amortization expense to be $16 million for each of the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, $13 million for 2023, and $6 million for 2024.

During 2018, in connection with the VFAE acquisition, the Company recorded customer related intangible assets of $7 million. These definite lived intangible assets are being amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives of 10 to 12 years. Additionally, the Company recorded goodwill of $2 million for the excess of the total consideration over the fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired. These gross additions were partially offset by foreign currency related impacts in Customer related and Other intangibles of $5 million and $1 million, respectively.

During 2017, the Company contributed $2 million to American Center for Mobility, a non-profit corporation who is building a state of the art research and development facility. The contribution provides the Company certain rights regarding access to the facility for three years. The Company will use the facility for autonomous driving research and development activities for multiple products and therefore capitalized the contribution as an intangible asset. The Company made a second contribution of $2 million during the third quarter of 2018 when the facility was substantially complete. The $4 million intangible asset, classified as "Other", is being amortized over a 36 month period on a straight-line basis beginning in January 2018 when the term of the arrangement began.
