Autonomous vehicles, also known as self-driving cars, are vehicles that are capable of navigating and operating without the need for direct human input. These vehicles use advanced technologies such as sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to perceive their surroundings, make decisions, and navigate safely to their destinations. Research in the area of autonomous vehicles focuses on developing and improving the technology necessary for these vehicles to operate effectively and safely in a variety of environments. This includes research on sensor technology, computer vision, machine learning, and robotics. Autonomous vehicles have the potential to revolutionize transportation by making it safer, more efficient, and more accessible. However, there are still many technical and regulatory challenges that need to be addressed before autonomous vehicles can become widely adopted. Researchers in this field are working to overcome these challenges and bring the promise of autonomous vehicles to reality.
