Automotive sensors: assistance systems' sense organs. No modern car takes to the road without automotive sensors. There are engine speed sensors, and they’re also found in the air bags and on the wheels. Sensor technology is also important for detecting the environment around a vehicle, and thus for autonomous driving and automated parking
A self-driving car (sometimes called an autonomous car or driverless car) is a vehicle that uses a combination of sensors, cameras, radar and artificial intelligence ( AI) to travel between destinations without a human operator. To qualify as fully autonomous, a vehicle must be able to navigate without human intervention to a predetermined
Self-driving vehicles are steadily becoming a reality despite the many hurdles still to be overcome – and they could change our world in some unexpected ways. It's a late night in the Metro area
The laser sensors currently used to detect 3D objects in the paths of autonomous cars are bulky, ugly, expensive, energy-inefficient – and highly accurate. These Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) sensors are affixed to cars’ roofs, where they increase wind drag, a particular disadvantage for electric cars.
An autonomous car is able to drive itself based on its environment. How does an autonomous car work? Image credit: The Economist. To be autonomous, the car must be able to understand and evaluate its environment and take necessary actions to move. To understand the environment mainly cameras are used. Usually there are cameras in the front
autonomous cars. SOLUTION 2 In a research blog by Raffi Mardirosian on OUSTER, a testing of camera vs LIDAR was done in rain. It was found out that rain affected the camera’s sight more than it affected LIDAR sensors. Camera used was a GoPro 4K camera and the LIDAR used was an OS1 lidar sensor.
