The Fundamentals of Autonomous Driving Technology

China's Self-Driving Car Industry: An Introduction for Foreign Investors

Before exploring the many benefits of this revolutionary technology, it is essential to understand the basics of how an autonomous car works. First, these cars create and maintain a map of their surroundings. They do this through several sensors, including radar sensors that monitor the position of other vehicles nearby. They also use video cameras to detect road signs, other cars, and pedestrians. Light detection and ranging sensors are another essential part of the autonomous car’s technology. These sensors bounce pulses of light off surrounding objects to measure distances. Finally, ultrasonic sensors are also used to detect other vehicles and curbs, especially when parking. read more
