Tesla Holds Favor as Best Autonomous Vehicle Brand

With COVID-19 resulting in the economic fallout, many economies are working on game-changing developments to protect their workers and clients. While focusing on the continuous challenges, industry leaders are embracing new ideas to manage and stay afloat in this aggressive environment.

In detail, an autonomous vehicle can sense its environment and allows vehicles to drive themselves as well as communicate with one another. According to experts, they can run with little to no human intervention. Besides, it uses processors for its functions. Therefore, the higher the level of autonomy, the greater is the processor running for autonomous vehicles.

The era of fully autonomous vehicles is still on the road, there are quite a few challenges to overcome. Accordingly, Real Research published a survey to find out the public opinion regarding autonomous vehicles. Here is the result.
