Abstract

By improving their computational capacity, sensory precision, and decision-making powers, quantum technologies have the potential to completely transform autonomous car systems. These systems can handle enormous volumes of data more effectively and make choices in real time with previously unheard-of precision by utilizing quantum computing, quantum communication, and quantum sensing. While quantum sensing technologies—such as quantum radar and quantum-enhanced lidar—improve object detection and identification in difficult environments, quantum computing holds the promise of optimizing complex algorithms for path planning, traffic management, and machine learning models. the incorporation of quantum technologies into self-driving car systems, investigating how these developments can help with today's perception, navigation, and safety issues. We also talk about the possibility for quantum-enhanced autonomous systems to hasten the creation of completely autonomous transportation networks and its ramifications for the future.
