Maybe they have sensors and are just as aware as humans, but what else can they do that makes them so much better than regular vehicles? Unlike everyday vehicles, these driverless cars are in fact driverless with a few unprofound exceptions. These cars are able to not only be as conscious of its surroundings as a human can be, but it can also drive just like a human, too. This vehicle, which is sometimes addressed as a "smart car", has full control of the car's functions. It can brake, handle, and steer itself while on the road, only having the driver take over if there is a particular situation that needs careful maneuvering through. In such events, the vehicle will then notify the driver with an obvious display that signifies a need to be manually directed. Likewise, it can also handle some situations on its own with its ability to reduce engine power and apply brakes when necessary, making it a truly "smart car".
