Abstract

Transportation has developed a lot in previous years, from camels and horses to conventional cars and now autonomous vehicles (AVs) or a self-driven vehicle. It is a self-apprehensive automobile that detects its current surroundings with the help of sensors and moves with less or no human intervention. Autonomous vehicles can soon come to our roads, as, a lot of research has already been done in the sector. Since very few people have commuted in an AV, one can’t tell the pros and cons of AV just by the theoretical part. Initially, every research poses some issues; this is no different, but with time, it is important to solve those issues else they can gradually become a threat. The present work addresses some issues which need to be taken into consideration before AVs reach the public. These issues are not only restricted to technical but also concerns with ethics, society, and legalities. We have also focused on the pros, cons, and changes that might happen once AVs become publicly available. Is it worth spending millions of money and hundreds of hours in research? Are there more advantages of AVs than disadvantages? Is it a threat to society? Let us look at some details and aspects of AVs.
