What is an Autonomous Vehicle?
An autonomous vehicle, or a driverless
vehicle, is one that is able to operate itself and perform necessary
functions without any human intervention. In particular, it is a vehicle
that can drive itself from a starting point to a predetermined
destination in “autopilot” mode. As we will see these cars use various
in-vehicle technologies and sensors, including adaptive cruise control,
active steering (steer by wire), anti-lock braking systems (brake by
wire), GPS navigation technology, lasers and radar.
