Autonomous driving technology refers to systems that enable vehicles to navigate and operate without human intervention. This technology uses a combination of sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to perceive the environment, make decisions, and control the vehicle's movements. The goal of autonomous driving is to enhance safety, reduce traffic congestion, and improve mobility. Companies like Waymo and Tesla are at the forefront of developing these systems, which can range from basic driver-assistance features to fully self-driving capabilities.
