Autonomous Vehicles - Page 2

Autonomous vehicles, often referred to as self-driving cars, are vehicles equipped with technology that enables them to navigate and operate without direct human control. These vehicles use a combination of sensors, cameras, radar, and artificial intelligence to perceive their surroundings, make decisions, and execute driving tasks. The goal of autonomous vehicles is to improve road safety, reduce traffic congestion, and enhance mobility. They operate on various levels of autonomy, from driver assistance features that require human oversight to fully automated systems that can perform all driving functions independently. The development of autonomous vehicles raises important discussions around technology, ethics, and regulatory frameworks as they integrate into existing transportation systems.
