Solve for X (Self-Driving Car Project‚ n.d.) reports that a self-driving car is just that‚ a vehicle that drives itself without the interaction of a human needed. Sensors make the cars constantly aware of what is around them in all directions and allow them to drive safely in “many complicated scenarios on city streets” (Solve for X‚ Self-Driving Car Project‚ n.d.)
