1. Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS)
* These systems help the driver with specific tasks, but still require human supervision.
* Examples: Adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, automatic emergency braking.
* These cars can't drive themselves completely, but they can make driving safer and easier.
2. Autonomous Vehicles (AVs)
* These cars are capable of driving without any human intervention.
* They use sensors, cameras, and complex algorithms to navigate and make decisions.
* They are still under development and testing, but some companies offer limited autonomous driving capabilities in certain areas.
So, to answer your question more precisely:
* Cars with ADAS can drive on their own for short periods with minimal driver intervention.
* Fully autonomous vehicles are still being developed, and not yet widely available.
It's important to remember that even autonomous vehicles require a human driver to take over in certain situations (like when the technology encounters unexpected conditions).
