Önvezet

Önvezet is a term used to refer to autonomous, self-guided operation in machines and vehicles. It describes systems that sense their surroundings, make decisions, and act without or with limited human intervention. The term is used most often in the context of autonomous vehicles, drones, and robotics, but can also describe self-guided machinery in manufacturing and logistics.

Technologies underpinning önvezet include perception (sensors such as cameras, lidar, and radar), localization and mapping (for example SLAM), path planning, and robust control systems. Modern approaches combine rule-based algorithms with machine learning to interpret environments, predict outcomes, and optimize routes or actions in real time. System architectures typically feature a processing unit that fuses sensor data, a decision module that selects maneuvers, and actuators that execute them.

Applications span passenger automobiles with varying levels of automation, cargo delivery drones, autonomous industrial robots, and robotic vacuum cleaners. The concept is closely associated with safety, reliability, and accountability, including redundancy, fail-safe modes, and cybersecurity to protect against manipulation or intrusion.

Regulatory frameworks for önvezet systems often reference established standards and levels of automation, such as the SAE driving automation levels and ISO 26262 functional safety guidelines. Ongoing research continues to address challenges in perception under adverse conditions, long-horizon planning, coordination among multiple self-guided systems, and public acceptance.

Notes: In some languages, especially Hungarian, a closely related term exists and is used to describe autonomous driving; in English-language contexts, the term is less common and can appear as a neologism or compound form.
