Imagine sitting in a car that drives itself while you relax, check your phone, or even take a nap. With advancements in automobile technology, self-driving cars, or driverless cars, are becoming a reality in many parts of the world. While not yet available in India, these driverless cars use advanced technology like sensors, cameras, and artificial intelligence to navigate roads, changing the way we imagine travel.
What are self-driving cars?
- As the name suggests, self-driving cars operate without a human driver.
- These self-driving cars rely on Artificial Intelligence, GPS, radar, and cameras to detect obstacles, follow traffic rules, and make driving decisions in real time.
- While fully autonomous cars are not yet common on Indian roads, features like adaptive cruise control and automatic braking are already available in some high-end vehicles.
Why having car insurance matters?
Even with advanced technology, car insurance remains crucial for self-driving or semi-automatic cars. Accidents, software malfunctions, and unexpected road conditions can pose risks, and having insurance could ensure financial protection.
