Abstract

Artificial intelligence is currently changing our world by transforming mobility. An autonomous car is a perfect example of the application convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and the internet of things (IoT). A self-driving car is a smart/intelligent vehicle that can perceive and sense its nearby world through the IoT. The task of creating an efficiently working self-sufficient autonomous car is not very easy as it consists of many challenges. We know how difficult the task of driving cars can sometimes be, and teaching the same to a machine is even more difficult. There are lots of challenges which we need to overcome before deploying autonomous cars on public roads. These challenges include technical areas and some other very critical scenarios to be looked at.

Many research studies and innovations are happening today in the area of self-driving cars (SDCs), which have resulted in some working prototypes of these vehicles, but failure in the efficient working of these prototypes has made deploying them in public problematic. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge and analyze the areas of problems and challenges. In this chapter, we will look at the technical challenges and other critically challenging areas which SDCs might encounter. We also discuss the issue ...
