Abstract
The automotive industry is one of the most important industries in Europe. This industry is responsible for 14% of total production and capital investment in the European manufacturing sector. The following rise of driverless vehicles is going to have a major impact on businesses and professionals. Automated vehicles could replace corporate fleets for deliveries or transporting employees, for example. And workers could gain productive hours in the day by working instead of driving during daily commutes. Innovations in this field are also poised to completely change the car insurance industry by reducing accidents - a new report predicts that accidents will drop by 80% by 2040. The interconnection and synchronization of radar and ultrasonic sensors and optical cameras allow completely autonomous driving. This article deals with the description of autonomous cars, specifically their classification, technology, components, working, potential advantages and obstacles.
