Do Self-Driving Cars Require a Driver's License?
1 Answers
Self-driving cars do not require a driver's license. Below is more information about self-driving cars: 1. Self-driving cars are a type of intelligent vehicle, also known as wheeled mobile robots, which primarily rely on an onboard computer system-based intelligent autopilot to achieve autonomous driving. 2. The first truly self-driving car appeared in the 1980s. In 1984, Carnegie Mellon University initiated the Navlab and ALV projects. In 1987, Mercedes-Benz and the Bundeswehr University Munich jointly launched the Eureka Prometheus Project. Since then, many large companies and research institutions have begun developing operational prototypes of self-driving cars, with Tesla being the first to introduce autonomous vehicles for specific environments. 3. Self-driving cars perceive the road environment through onboard sensing systems, automatically plan driving routes, and control the vehicle to reach predetermined destinations. They integrate various technologies such as automatic control, system architecture, artificial intelligence, and visual computing. They are the product of highly developed computer science, pattern recognition, and intelligent control technologies, and serve as an important indicator of a country's scientific research capabilities and industrial level. They have broad application prospects in both national defense and the national economy.
