A self-driving car, also known as a robot car, autonomous car, or driverless car,[1][2] is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and moving with little or no human input.[3]
Autonomous cars combine a variety of sensors to perceive their surroundings, such as radar, computer vision, Lidar, sonar, GPS, odometry and inertial measurement units. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage.[4][5]
Potential benefits include reduced costs, increased safety, increased mobility, increased customer satisfaction and reduced crime. Safety benefits include a reduction in traffic collisions,[6][7] resulting injuries and related costs, including for insurance. Automated cars are predicted to increase traffic flow;[8] provide enhanced mobility for children, the elderly,[9] disabled, and the poor; relieve travelers from driving and navigation chores; increase fuel efficiency of vehicle;[10] significantly reduce needs for parking space;[11] reduce crime;[12] and facilitate business models for transportation as a service, especially via the sharing economy.[13][14]
Problems include safety,[15] technology, liability,[16][17] legal framework and government regulations; risk of loss of privacy and security concerns, such as hackers or terrorism; concern about the resulting loss of driving-related jobs in the road transport industry; and risk of increased suburbanization as travel becomes more convenient.[10]Autonomous means self-governing.[47] Many historical projects related to vehicle automation have been automated (made automatic) subject to a heavy reliance on artificial aids in their environment, such as magnetic strips. Autonomous control implies satisfactory performance under significant uncertainties in the environment and the ability to compensate for system failures without external intervention.[47]

In 1925, Houdina Radio
Control demonstrated the radio-
controlled "American Wonder" on
New York City streets, traveling up
Broadway and down Fifth Avenue
through the thick of the traffic jam.
In 1953, RCA Labs successfully built
a miniature car that was guided
and controlled by wires that were
laid in a pattern on a laboratory
floor.
In the 1980s, a vision-guided Mercedes-
Benz robotic van, designed by Ernst
Dickmanns and his team at
the Bundeswehr University
Munich in Munich, Germany, achieved a
speed of 39 miles per hour (63 km/h) on
streets without traffic.
In the first Grand Challenge held in
March 2004, DARPA (the Defense
Advanced Research Projects
Agency) offered a $1 million prize
to any team of robotic engineers
which could create an autonomous
car capable of finishing a 150-mile
course in the Mojave Desert.
Many major automotive
manufacturers,
including General
Motors, Ford, Mercedes
Benz, Volkswagen, Audi, Nissan,
Toyota, BMW, and Volvo, are
testing driverless car systems as
of 2013.
