autonomous vehicle

A passenger vehicle that drives by itself. Also known as the "driverless car," it automatically steers the vehicle by sensing the painted lines in the road or a magnetic monorail embedded in the road. In the late 1990s, prototype systems were built in Italy and the U.S. See automotive systems.
