<human>:  What are self-driving cars and how do they work?
<bot>: Self-driving cars, also known as autonomous cars, are vehicles programmed to drive themselves with the help of advanced technology. They use sensors, cameras, and a variety of other components to detect the environment surrounding the car and follow a set of programmed instructions to make decisions while driving. The car will take data from its surroundings, including road signs and other vehicles, to calculate the safest route and recognize objects and people in its path. Self-driving cars are designed to feature full autonomous control that can operate without any human input.
