An autonomous car , [1] also known as a driverless car , [2] self-driving car , [3] auto [4] , or robotic car [5] is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the transportation capabilities of a traditional car. As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. Robotic cars exist mainly as prototypes and demonstration systems. As of 2014 , the only self-driving vehicles that are commercially available are open-air shuttles for pedestrian zones that operate at 12.5 miles per hour (20.1 km/h). [6]

An autonomous car , also known as robotic or informally as driverless or self-driving , is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the human transportation capabilities of a traditional car. As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of sensing its environment and navigating on its own. [1] A human may choose a destination, but is not required to perform any mechanical operation of the vehicle.

A driverless car is a vehicle equipped with an autopilot system, and capable of driving from one point to another without aid from an operator. Driverless passenger car programs include the 800 million EC EUREKA Prometheus Project on autonomous vehicles, the 2getthere passenger vehicles from the Netherlands , the ARGO research project from Italy , the DARPA Grand Challenge from the USA , and Google driverless car .

A driverless car is an autonomous vehicle that can drive itself from one point to another without assistance from a driver. Some believe that autonomous vehicles have the potential to transform the transportation industry while virtually eliminating accidents, and cleaning up the environment. According to urban designer and futurist Michael E. Arth , driverless electric vehicles—in conjunction with the increased use of virtual reality for work, travel, and pleasure—could reduce the world's 800,000,000 vehicles to a fraction of that number within a few decades. [1] Arth claims that this would be possible if almost all private cars requiring drivers, which are not in use and parked 90% of the time, would be traded for public self-driving taxis that would be in near constant use.This would also allow for getting the appropriate vehicle for the particular need—a bus could come for a group of people, a limousine could come for a special night out, and a Segway could come for a short trip down the street for one person. Children could be chauffeured in supervised safety, DUIs would no longer exist, and 41,000 lives could be saved each year in the U.S. alone. [2] [3]

The driverless car is a theoretical technology that would be able to navigate on large highways like the U.S. interstate highway system, and later on smaller roads or even off-road, with little or no human intervention needed. Also referred to as an autopilot, autonomous vehicle, autodrive car, or an automated guided vehicle (AGV).
