Driverless cars have been developing since the 1930s and many major car companies are now manufacturing prototypes. Fully autonomous vehicles use sensors like LiDAR and computer vision alongside GPS to navigate without human intervention. While driverless cars may increase safety, reduce traffic, and provide mobility benefits, concerns remain around security, privacy, cost, and job disruption. Public opinion on driverless cars is mostly positive but also cautious, with many only considering purchasing one in the future once the technology is more advanced and affordable.

3. DEFINITION & CLASSIFICATION
• Definition:
• a robotic vehicle that is designed to travel
between destinations without a human operator
• Levels of driving automation (0-5)
• 0: No Driving Automation
• 1: Driver Assistance
• 2: Partial Driving Automation
• 3: Conditional Driving Automation
• 4: High Driving Automation
• 5: Full Driving Automation
• Fully autonomous :
• a vehicle must be able to navigate without human
intervention to a predetermined destination over
roads that have not been adapted for its use.
