5 Major Steps Forward in Self-Driving Cars: What You Need to Know

Woman Reading

Self-driving cars have made incredible progress in recent years.  As car companies and tech firms work hard to make autonomous vehicles safer and better, we want to share the most important developments that are changing how these vehicles work. 

vOne of the biggest improvements in self-driving cars is how they can now "see" the world around them much more clearly. 

Better Cameras and Sensors Make Cars More Aware

The computers that control self-driving cars now use advanced artificial intelligence (AI) that can learn from experience, just like human drivers do. 

Artificial Intelligence That Learns and Gets Smarter 

Cars That Talk to Each Other and Road Infrastructure 

A breakthrough in autonomous vehicle technology is how cars can now communicate with each other and with smart road systems. 

More Detailed and Up-to-date Map

Self-driving cars now use much more detailed maps than the ones we use for navigation. 

Better Testing and Safety Systems 

Companies developing self-driving cars have greatly improved how they test and verify their vehicles' safety.

Remember that self-driving technology keeps changing quickly, and new improvements happen all the time.  These five areas are just the main highlights of recent progress, but companies are working on many other ways to make autonomous vehicles better and safer.
