In recent decades, there have been various scientific discoveries in new forms of technology. Thus, artificial intelligence emerged as one of the extremely important areas. Its implementation is increasingly common in all areas of business. During the last century, the issue of autonomous vehicles that will revolutionize this industry has been launched. These vehicles operate with artificial intelligence and their aim is to fully replace human beings as the person driving the vehicle. This is precisely why this thesis deals with the application of artificial intelligence in autonomous vehicles in order to explain in more detail the impact of artificial intelligence and its learning methods used in the production of these types of vehicles. A large part of the human population is still not fully familiar with the functionalities that this technology offers. Therefore, for the purposes of writing this thesis, research was conducted to examine people's thoughts about this type of vehicle, which will be increasingly used in the future. People’s opinions, as the most important traffic participants, are very important in order to adapt autonomous vehicles to them in the best possible way. Although, according to the results of the survey, respondents mostly do not believe in a complete transition to autonomous vehicles in the future, many scientific predictions claim the opposite.
