Autonomous Vehicle

A term coined by economist and futurist Karl Smith to refer to cars, trucks, heavy construction equipment light duty "wheeled drones" which operate without guidance from a human operator within or outside of the vehicle.

The term driverless cars will one day sound as anachronistic as horse lessons carriage. I suggest Autonomous Vehicle as it not only refers to all classes of vehicles but can and will be easily shortened to AV.
