The dream of autonomous systems has long been a staple of science fiction, but recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have turned that dream into a burgeoning reality.
Rise of Autonomous Systems: How AI is Powering Self-Driving Cars and Drones

Self-driving cars and drones, once seen as fantastical or futuristic, are now at the forefront of technological innovation, thanks to significant progress in Al. This rise of autonomous systems promises to revolutionize transportation, logistics, and beyond, reshaping industries and potentially transforming daily life.

The Evolution of Self-Driving Cars

Self-driving cars have evolved from mere prototypes to functional vehicles being tested on public roads. Companies like Waymo, Tesla, and Cruise are leading the charge, with each deploying different levels of automation. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) defines levels of driving automation from 0 (no automation) to 5 (full automation). Currently, most commercial self-driving cars operate at Level 2 or 3, where the vehicle can manage some driving tasks, but human intervention is still required.

Central to these vehicles is an array of sensors and AI algorithms that enable perception, decisionmaking, and control. Lidar, radar, cameras, and ultrasonic sensors collectively create a detailed map of the car's surroundings. AI algorithms process this data in real time, identifying objects, predicting their movements, and planning the vehicle's path accordingly.
