A self driving, driverless, robot or robotic car is known as an autonomous vehicle. They first appeared in the 1980s. Such vehicles manoeuvre around their environment using little or no human intervention, by sensing the parameters around them. Their basic function is to create a map of their surroundings with the help of sensors situated in different parts of the vehicle.The sensing of nearby vehicles is achieved with the help of LIDAR sensors and video cameras detect other obstacles like traffic lights, road signs and pedestrians.

Over the next few years, climate change coupled with a growing population that is expected to reach 9.8 billion in 2050 will have a dramatic impact on our world and will disrupt our already fragile ecosystem.Energy consumption is growing at a staggering rate and is projected to increase by as much as 55% by then.It is up to us to find ways to simultaneously preserve the environment and drive development to ensure that future generations have a better world to live in.
