The paper explains how autonomous vehicles function as well as their advantages and disadvantages. New developments in autonomous vehicles are being accomplished and introduced to the user's demands. Many car companies have developed their own driverless vehicles and detected the problems within them. The major flaw of autonomous vehicles is cyber security because hackers are still able to break into the car's software system and disrupt it. This is a major issue which is still being dealt with. Autonomous vehicles have modernized the mobility of people, which means that people no longer have to come to the vehicle but the vehicle comes to them and are able to share transportation and thus lowering the traffic congestion and cost. Smartphone applications have been developed facilitating the carsharing system. Users consider these cars comfortable and stylish but expect high level of security. Autonomous vehicles enable the elderly, the disabled and physically limited people move much easier. Furthermore, autonomous vehicles reduce pollution and are environmentally friendly. It is anticipated that autonomous vehicles will take over the roads and are the future of transportation. They offer comfort, safety and good driving conditions. Hereafter, this paper represents important characteristics and features of autonomous cars.
