Autonomous Vehicle (AV)
A vehicle capable of self-driving with minimal human input.

Autonomous vehicles combine sensors, cameras, radar, and AI algorithms to perceive their environment and make driving decisions. They rely on high-definition maps and real-time sensor fusion. Levels of autonomy range from 0 (manual) to 5 (fully autonomous). Testing requires safety protocols and data recording systems. Autonomous systems promise reduced accidents and efficient transport but require robust cybersecurity.
