autonomous vehicle
Driverless transportation machine
An autonomous vehicle is a car, truck, or other conveyance that drives itself using sensors, cameras, and computer systems rather than human input.
Also called self-driving or driverless vehicles.
Full autonomy remains elusive; most current systems require human oversight: The autonomous vehicle navigated city streets but prompted the driver to take over in construction zones.
