I now know why all of these researchers want to go on all of these autonomous vehicle test drives alone. It's called autonomous erotica. Yikes!

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.

Autonomous Systems

Machines, software, or vehicles capable of performing complex tasks and making situated decisions over extended periods without real-time human guidance. They perceive their environment through sensors, interpret the data, plan a course of action, and act—all while dealing with uncertainty and unexpected events. The autonomy spectrum ranges from "follow pre-set rules" to "learn and adapt on the fly." The defining feature is agency: the system is not just automated, but has the capacity to choose how to achieve its given objective.

Autonomous Systems Example: A self-driving car navigating city traffic, choosing when to change lanes, and reacting to a jaywalker is an Autonomous System. So is a planetary rover like Perseverance, which can select its own path to a target, avoid hazards, and decide which rocks to laser-zap for analysis, all during a communication blackout with Earth. It's a trusted, independent agent.

Google Autonomous Vehicle

When a person is walking down the sidewalk looking down at their phone. There is no human in charge of the operation of their vehicle (i.e., their body).

A Google Autonomous Vehicle is usually watching the little blue dot to see which way on the map they are moving. Once the Google Autonomous Vehicle figures that out, they can reorient themselves in the right direction towards their destination.

I became a Google Autonomous Vehicle when I punched "tapas bar near me."

Kinetic Autonomous Mechanical Interface

K.A.M.I. The interface for the anomaly known as the Kinetic Autonomous Mechanical Energy Field, a creation of the Greetings Robotics Corporation, in partnership with the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee

Kinetic Autonomous Mechanical Interface Is the most direct way we have found to interact with the anomalous energy field known as KAME.
