Abstract

The rise of self-driving cars (AVs) is poised to significantly reshape both society and infrastructure. By reducing traffic accidents caused by human error, AVs promise to enhance road safety. However, they also present economic challenges, particularly job displacement in driving-related sectors, while potentially creating new opportunities in technology and infrastructure management. The widespread adoption of AVs could lead to major changes in urban design, including the repurposing of parking spaces and the development of smarter road systems. Additionally, AVs could reduce carbon emissions and improve traffic flow, contributing to environmental sustainability. Legal and ethical concerns, including liability, privacy, and decision-making in unavoidable accidents, will require careful consideration. Overall, the integration of self-driving cars will necessitate significant adjustments to transportation policies, infrastructure, and societal norms to maximize their benefits a
