autonomous car
Vehicle navigates itself
An autonomous car is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input—also called a self-driving car or driverless car.
The technology ranges from partial automation (lane-keeping, adaptive cruise control) to full autonomy where no driver is needed.
Autonomous cars use cameras, radar, and AI to detect obstacles.
The term often appears in discussions of transportation's future and the regulatory challenges of removing humans from the driver's seat.
