Self-driving cars offer convenience, mobility, efficiency, and traffic congestion reduction

Autonomous vehicles have technology that can adjust course and speed without human input.

The concept of autonomous vehicles has gained significant attention in recent years. An autonomous vehicle, also known as a self-driving car, is equipped with advanced technology that allows it to sense its surroundings and make independent decisions about its course and speed without the need for human intervention. However, it's important to note that there are different levels of autonomy in vehicles, ranging from those with partial automated features to fully autonomous vehicles that operate without any human input.

The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has defined six levels of automated driving. These levels range from Level 0, where the driver has full control of the vehicle, to Level 5, representing a fully autonomous vehicle that doesn't require human intervention. At Level 5, the vehicle is capable of operating the controls without any human input.
