AIV (Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles) are vehicles capable of sensing their environment, making decisions, and navigating without human intervention. These vehicles rely on Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning, sensors, and real-time data processing to operate safely and efficiently.
Unlike traditional vehicles that depend entirely on human drivers, AIVs are designed to:
- Understand road conditions
- Detect obstacles and pedestrians
- Predict traffic behavior
- Take autonomous driving decisions
In simple terms, AIVs think, learn, and drive on their own.
2. How Autonomous Intelligent Vehicles Work
At the core of AIV is a decision-making AI brain that processes massive amounts of real-time data.
The basic workflow:
- Perception – Sensors scan the environment
- Interpretation – AI understands what’s happening
- Decision Making – System decides acceleration, braking, or turning
- Execution – Vehicle performs the action
All of this happens in milliseconds, faster than human reflexes.
