Autonomous Vehicles: Driving into the Future
Autonomous vehicles (AVs), commonly known as self-driving cars, represent one of the most transformative innovations in modern transportation. Combining advanced sensors, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning, these vehicles are capable of navigating roads and traffic with minimal or no human intervention. As technology continues to evolve, autonomous vehicles promise to reshape mobility, safety, and urban planning on a global scale.
Technology Behind Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous vehicles rely on a combination of hardware and software technologies to operate safely and efficiently. Key components include:
Sensors and Cameras: LiDAR, radar, ultrasonic sensors, and high-definition cameras provide a 360-degree view of the vehicle’s surroundings. These sensors detect objects, pedestrians, and other vehicles to make real-time driving decisions.
