Bots are robots which have no physical presence i.e. they exist purely on the internet. In their simplest form, a bot could be an algorithm which works autonomously on the web performing a desired function such as fetching data from one place an bringing it to another. At their most complex, the are near fully autonomous and can drive cars or fly planes.

As of yet, although rampant on the internet, (it is estimated that 64% of internet traffic are bots[1][2]) they have not been given legal status to operate independently in the physical world, this is why Elon Musk is having such difficulty in pushing through autonomous driving cars.
