Self-driving cars

Definition

Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous vehicles, are automobiles equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence technology that can navigate and operate without human intervention. They use a combination of sensors and algorithms to perceive their surroundings and make decisions accordingly.
