smart car

Autonomous driving vehicle

A smart car is a compact, fuel-efficient vehicle designed for urban driving, typically a two-seater with a very short body that makes parking easier: She parallel-parked her smart car in a space no other vehicle could fit.

The term often refers specifically to vehicles made by the Smart brand (a Mercedes-Benz subsidiary), but extends to similar microcars.

Smart cars prioritize maneuverability and low emissions over power or passenger capacity.
