Autonomous Vehicles – Working System – Advantages – Regulations

By 2030, it is predicted that 40% of new vehicles sold in Europe will have autonomous driving capabilities. With the global market for autonomous vehicles reaching $41 billion USD in 2024, this technology is driving a transformative revolution in transportation. Let’s dive deeper into this technology and examine Turkey's preparations for this revolution.

Advantages of Autonomous Vehicles

Reduced Traffic Accidents: Minimizes accidents caused by human error, enhancing road safety.
Fuel Efficiency: Optimized driving techniques and better traffic flow management reduce fuel consumption.
Accessibility: Enables independent travel for disabled and elderly individuals.
Time Savings: Drivers can focus on other tasks during journeys, increasing productivity.

How Autonomous Vehicles Work

Autonomous vehicles use advanced technologies to perceive their surroundings and move safely:

Lidar and Radar Sensors: Precisely measure the distance and position of nearby objects.
Cameras: Analyze visual data such as traffic signs, lane markings, and other vehicles.
Artificial Intelligence: Processes collected data to manage the vehicle's control systems and make decisions.
GPS and Maps: Determines the vehicle's location and plans the best route to its destination.

5 Levels of Autonomous Vehicles

Autonomous vehicles are classified into five levels based on their advanced driving capabilities:

Level 0 – No Automation: The driver has full control of the vehicle.
Level 1 – Driver Assistance: The vehicle has a single automation feature, such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), but the driver remains in control.
Level 2 – Partial Automation: The vehicle can manage multiple systems simultaneously, such as speed and steering assistance.
Level 3 – Conditional Automation: The vehicle handles all driving tasks under certain conditions. The driver must be ready to intervene if necessary.
Level 4 – High Automation: The vehicle operates entirely autonomously in specific areas like highways or city centers.
Level 5 – Full Automation: The vehicle operates independently in all conditions, with no need for human intervention.
