AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE
A self-driving car , also known as an autonomous vehicle ( AV ), driverless car , or robotic car ( robo-car ), is a car incorporating vehicular automation , that is, a ground vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and moving safely with little or no human input . The future of this technology may have an impact on multiple industries and other circumstances . Self-driving cars combine a variety of sensors to perceive their surroundings, such as thermographic cameras , radar , lidar , sonar , GPS , odometry and inertial measurement units . Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage . Possible implementations of the technology include personal self-driving vehicles, shared robotaxis , and connected vehicle p...
