“Self-driving cars utilize LiDAR, radar, cameras, and sensors to sense the world around them and find the best path to the destination in a quick and safe manner.”
Self-driving cars can grasp their surroundings through mounted cameras, radar, LiDAR, and sensors and to make navigational decisions using a GPS unit and an inertial navigation system.
When it comes to self-driving cars, the control system makes navigation decisions. The system is capable of finding the optimal path to their destination without road obstacles through its internal map. Once the best route is selected, commands are sent to each actuator of the car to control the steering and braking.
Self-driving evolves in line with advancements in mechanical performance, such as the precision of cameras, sensors, and control systems. Currently, the progress based-off of this technology enables cars to drive while maintaining their distance from the vehicle ahead, keeping the vehicle in their lane, read traffic signs through their cameras, and slow down before entering intersections or corners by connecting themselves to their navigation maps. In the future, it is expected that cars will be able to recognize and prepare for any possible dangers in advance in the navigated paths by using cloud servers.
