An autonomous Vehicle is the type of vehicle that drives on its own. They are currently being devoloped by companies and universities all over the world !
Autonomous vehicle control uses external sensors of the environment to navigate or carry out a particular task. This is different to normal vehicles which demand an input to carry out a set job.
The use of such vehicles can reduce costs and has other advantages. Doing repetetive tasks manually can require certain costs hence more labour. However, the advantage of utilizing the autonomous vehicle is that the tasks would not need to be supervised ( safety ) and can be done over and over again without the vehicle 'getting tired'. This can lead to greater efficiency.
Recently the concept of such a vehicle has flourished into the control engineering sector and the expansion of such vehicles on air, land and sea may shape the future of many engineering concepts which are used today.
