Across
- 2. Light Detection and Ranging, a sensor used in autonomous vehicles to measure distances and detect obstacles using laser pulses.
- 5. A set of rules or instructions used by autonomous vehicles to make decisions based on data received from sensors and environmental inputs.
- 6. A moral challenge faced by self-driving cars, such as deciding who to harm in an unavoidable crash (e.g., the "trolley problem").
- 10. A subset of artificial intelligence that enables autonomous vehicles to improve their performance over time by learning from data and experience.
- 12. A vehicle capable of operating without human intervention, using sensors, cameras, and algorithms to navigate and make decisions.
- 13. The presence of systematic errors in artificial intelligence algorithms, often due to biased data, which could lead to unequal treatment or outcomes for certain groups of people.
Down
- 1. The remote control of a self-driving vehicle by a human operator, used as a backup when the vehicle cannot handle a situation autonomously.
- 3. A sensor technology used in autonomous vehicles to detect objects and measure distances using radio waves.
- 4. The ability of autonomous vehicles to communicate with each other (Vehicle-to-Vehicle or V2V) and with infrastructure (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure or V2I) to share information for improved safety and efficiency.
- 7. The process by which autonomous vehicles sense and understand their environment using technologies such as cameras, radar, LiDAR, and ultrasonic sensors.
- 8. The protection of personal information collected by autonomous vehicles, including data about driving habits, location, and user behavior, raising concerns about surveillance and unauthorized access.
- 9. The inclusion of backup systems or sensors in an autonomous vehicle to ensure safety in case one system fails.
- 11. The legal responsibility for accidents or incidents involving autonomous vehicles, and the question of who is held accountable (e.g., the manufacturer, the programmer, or the vehicle owner).
