Driverless cars, also called self-driving cars, are vehicles that use artificial intelligence (AI) to drive without a human driver. These cars have special sensors and cameras that help them see the road, detect obstacles, and avoid accidents. AI helps the car understand road signs, traffic lights, and other cars around it. This technology is developing fast and aims to make driving safer and easier. One major advantage of driverless cars is that they reduce human mistakes. Many car accidents happen because of human errors, such as speeding or not paying attention. With AI, driverless cars follow all traffic rules and drive carefully, lowering the risk of accidents. Another benefit is convenience, as people can relax or do other tasks while the car drives. However, there are still challenges. Some people worry about the safety of driving them, especially in complex driving situations, like busy city streets. The technology also needs to be tested more to ensure it works perfectly in all conditions. Overall, driverless cars are an exciting new development that could change the way we travel in the future.
