Abstract

An autonomous vehicle (AV), also known as a driverless or self-driving car, is a vehicle that can operate itself and perform necessary functions without human intervention. Autonomous vehicles have been under development since the midtwentieth century and operate with the use of cameras and radar systems to acquire information about road conditions—allowing them to choose the easiest path of travel.
