Autonomous Self-Driving Vehicle
An Autonomous Self-Driving Vehicle is a vehicle that is an autonomous robot which can perform an autonomous self-driving tasks.
- Context:
- It can (typically) use Autonomous Vehicle Systems, such as: Advanced Driver-Assistance System.
- It can range from being an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) to being an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV).
- It can be an Easy-to-Conceptualize, Easy-to-Demo, Long-Gestation Disruptive Software Technology.
- …
- Example(s):
- a Self-Driving Car such as: a Google Car, a Cruise Autonomous Vehicle, a Robotaxi, a Fully-Autonomous (Level-5) Car.
- a Self-Driving Truck.
- an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
- a Delivery Drone.
- …

- Vehicular automation involves the use of mechatronics, artificial intelligence, and multi-agent systems to assist the operator of a vehicle (car, aircraft, watercraft, or otherwise).[1] [2] These features and the vehicles employing them may be labeled as intelligent or smart. A vehicle using automation for difficult tasks, especially navigation, to ease but not entirely replace human input, may be referred to as semi-autonomous, whereas a vehicle relying solely on automation is called robotic or autonomous.[2]
Both of these types are instantiated in today's various self-driving cars, unmanned surface vehicles, autonomous trains, advanced airliner autopilots, drone aircraft, and planetary rovers, as well as guided rockets and missiles. After the invention of the integrated circuit, the sophistication of automation technology increased. Manufacturers and researchers subsequently added a variety of automated functions to automobiles and other vehicles. The technology involved in implementing autonomous vehicles is very expansive, ranging from technological improvements in the vehicle itself to the environment and objects around the vehicle. As the use of automated vehicles increases, they are becoming more influential in human lives. Although automated vehicles bring various benefits, they also come with various concerns. Also, there are still technological challenges that need to be overcome in order to make vehicular automation robust and scalable.[3]
