Abstract

The rapid evolution of autonomous vehicle (AV) technology has the potential to revolutionize the transportation industry, offering increased safety, efficiency, and accessibility. This thorough analysis explores the contemporary developments that are influencing the evolution of autonomous vehicles (AVs), such as breakthroughs in sensor technology, artificial intelligence, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication. But even with these advancements, there are still a lot of challengers to overcome, like legal restrictions, moral dilemmas, and technological constraints. In addition to providing insights into the future trajectory of autonomous vehicle technology, this study attempts to present a comprehensive review of these emerging trends and problems, highlighting important areas for future research and development.
