🚗🤖 Autonomous Vehicles (AVs): Driving the Future of Transportation Autonomous vehicles —also known as self-driving cars or driverless vehicles —use a combination of sensors, AI, and real-time data to navigate roads without human input. From improving safety to transforming mobility services, AVs are a cornerstone of the next-generation transportation ecosystem. 🧠 What Are Autonomous Vehicles? Autonomous vehicles are capable of: Perceiving their environment using cameras, LiDAR, radar, and GPS. Making decisions via AI algorithms and onboard computing systems. Navigating without driver intervention, under varying road and traffic conditions. 📊 SAE Levels of Autonomy (0–5) Level Description Example 0 No automation Traditional car 1 Driver assistance Adaptive cruise control 2 Partial automation Tesla Autopilot (hands on wheel) 3 Conditional automation Honda Legend (limited in Japan) 4 High automation (no driver in specific zones) Waymo Robotaxis (in Phoenix) 5 Ful...
