Do You Need a Driver's License to Operate a Self-Driving Car?

[AllieLynn]

Operating a self-driving car requires a driver's license. Although the definition of a self-driving car implies that no driver is needed during operation, in the era of self-driving vehicles, traditional cars that require human drivers still necessitate the driver to possess a valid license. A self-driving car is a type of smart vehicle, also referred to as a wheeled mobile robot, which primarily relies on an onboard computer system-based intelligent autopilot to achieve autonomous driving. These vehicles use onboard sensing systems to perceive the road environment, automatically plan routes, and control the vehicle to reach its intended destination. Equipped with sensors, they detect the surrounding environment, process information about the road, vehicle position, and obstacles, and adjust steering and speed accordingly to ensure safe and reliable travel on the road.
