Overview of Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles, also known as self-driving cars, are vehicles that can operate without human intervention. The concept of autonomous vehicles has been around for decades, but it is only recently that the technology has become advanced enough to make it a reality.Autonomous vehicles are classified into different levels of autonomy, ranging from Level 1 to Level 5.

Level 1 autonomy refers to vehicles that can assist the driver with tasks such as lane keeping and adaptive cruise control. Level 2 autonomy allows the vehicle to control both steering and acceleration, while the driver remains responsible for monitoring the vehicle.

Level 3 autonomy enables the vehicle to drive itself in most situations, but the driver must be ready to take over control if necessary. Level 4 autonomy allows the vehicle to drive itself in all situations, but the driver must still be present in the vehicle.

Level 5 autonomy refers to vehicles that can operate completely autonomously, without any human input.
