Abstract
The emergence of driverless cars, also known as autonomous vehicles (AVs), has generated a great deal of excitement and speculation regarding their potential to revolutionize transportation. With advanced sensors and sophisticated algorithms, driverless cars are capable of navigating roads and traffic without human intervention. There will be some help and wide use of driverless cars to reduce traffic accidents. The research will focus on the impact of driverless cars on reducing traffic accident rates in the future. After analyzing the current situation and summarizing some existing studies, the final conclusion is that driverless cars will indeed effectively reduce the traffic accident rate and it will be more widely used in the whole society in the future.
