Abstract

This paper seeks to discuss focused prototype development of self-driving, autonomous, driverless, electric cars with emphasis on subsystem advancement constituting the progress of the technology. The introduction lays special emphasis on the increased role of autonomous technology in transforming transportation by underlining its potential to enhance safety, effectiveness, and sustainability. Some technical background is provided with the definition of what an autonomous car is and its evolution timeline. Electrical vehicle current advancement is also described in detail. At last, comparative analysis of further prototype developments and subsystems with respect to their usefulness and prospects is given. This assessment serves to contribute to the present discourse on self-driving vehicle technology, and the role that these vehicles will play in on-going transport modal shift.
