Introduction

The self-driving car, also referred to as an autonomous vehicle, is a vehicle with the ability to drive and move safely with little or no human input by sensing its surroundings. As a concept, autonomous vehicles are often the subject of debate in current times, as people weigh in on the idea that technology could either be abused or revolutionary in the future. Many people appear to believe that one-day self-driving cars may become completely independent from humans and will be able to drive on their own as automatic human chauffeurs, as sensor technology and GPS become more advanced. The purpose of this research paper is to discuss both the positive and negative sides of self-driving cars while exploring the social, legal, ethical, and security aspects of autonomous vehicles concerning how they are used currently and will be used in the future.
