Abstract

There has been an influx in the number of autonomous vehicles that are on the road. These vehicles have become very popular because of their improved accuracy and ability to drive through most conditions without human correction. To further improve these vehicles, manufacturers need to focus their finances and resources on factors that make an impact. The lack of information in this space has created the goal for this research study: to determine the key technologies that have contributed the most to the increase in the safety of autonomous vehicles in the past ten years.

To study this topic, I researched a group of spatial mapping and AI-related technologies by prompting Gemini, a conversational AI, and utilizing sentiment analysis of the responses generated. It was concluded that spatial mapping technologies had the largest impact on the safety of autonomous vehicles, and it was also concluded that AI-related technologies remain a crucial part of the safety as well.
