robo-car
Self-driving automobile
A robo-car is a self-driving or autonomous vehicle—a car that navigates without human control, using sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence.
The term emphasizes the robotic nature of the technology: Robo-cars are being tested in several cities.
Also called autonomous vehicles, driverless cars, or self-driving cars.
