self-driving
No hands needed
Self-driving describes a vehicle capable of navigating without human control, using sensors, cameras, and software to steer, brake, and accelerate: a self-driving car, self-driving trucks could transform the shipping industry.
The technology exists on a spectrum from driver-assistance features to fully autonomous operation.
Also called autonomous or driverless.
