autoconducirse

Two distinct senses: literally, a vehicle driving itself (el coche se autoconduce mediante sensores), and, more traditionally, a person conducting or behaving themselves in a certain way — closer to conducirse. Context makes clear which is meant.

• El vehículo se autoconduce gracias a varios sensores y cámaras. — The vehicle drives itself thanks to several sensors and cameras.
• Supo autoconducirse con dignidad durante toda la crisis. — He knew how to conduct himself with dignity throughout the whole crisis.
• Los ingenieros probaron el coche que se autoconduce en la autopista. — The engineers tested the self-driving car on the highway.

Assuming autoconducirse only means "self-driving" (as in cars) — the older sense of "to conduct oneself" in behavior is still valid and can cause confusion without context.

Often confused with conducir.
