Autonomous vehicles — also known as self-driving cars or self-driving vehicles — are vehicles that can navigate and operate safely with little or no human input or intervention. Autonomous vehicles are equipped with autonomous driving systems that use a combination of sensors, computing, and software to safely perceive their environment and execute driving tasks.

Autonomous driving offers a range of benefits. One of the most significant advantages is the potential to improve road safety by reducing vehicle collisions, many of which are caused by human error. Autonomous vehicles are designed to follow traffic laws, monitor blind spots, and detect dangers faster than human drivers.

Autonomous vehicles also have the potential to deliver freedom of mobility for people who are unable to drive by expanding access to transportation options. They can navigate traffic jams and complex urban environments efficiently, which can help reduce traffic congestion and lower emissions — particularly as the transportation industry moves away from internal combustion engines and toward electric vehicles.
