Self-driving cars (also known as autonomous vehicles) are vehicles that can navigate and drive without human input, using advanced software and sensors.
There are six levels of driving automation defined by industry standards, from Level 0 (fully manual) to Level 5 (fully autonomous with no human intervention.
These cars rely on sensors (cameras, radar, lidar) and AI algorithms to perceive their surroundings and make driving decisions in real time.
Key potential benefits include increased road safety, reduced traffic congestion, and improved mobility for people who cannot drive.
