autopilot

Autopilot in vehicles is a driver-assistance system that uses sensors, cameras, and software to automatically control certain driving functions like steering, acceleration, and braking. It helps reduce driver workload by maintaining lane position, adapting to traffic conditions, and sometimes navigating on highways. While it can operate the vehicle independently within set parameters, it typically requires the driver to remain attentive and ready to take control at any moment. Autopilot enhances safety and convenience but is not fully autonomous, meaning it works best when used responsibly alongside active human supervision.
