Self-Driving Cars

              An autonomous car, also known as an autonomous vehicle (AV), driverless car, or robot car, is a vehicle that can sense
              its surroundings and move safely with little or no human intervention. Self-driving cars or autonomous cars work on a
              combination of technologies as follows:
              •   Computer Vision: Computer vision allows the car to see/perceive its surroundings. It uses:
                      ‘High Optic Camera’ takes the image of its environment. The image is then passed to a deep learning model to
                     process the image. The various image processing techniques explained in this chapter are used by the car to
                     know when the traffic light is red or where there is a zebra crossing, etc.
                     ‘Radar’ is a detection system to find out how far or close other vehicles are on the road.
                      ‘Lidar’ is a surveillance method that is used to measure the distance to a target. The lidar (lidar emits laser beams) is
                     usually placed on a spinning wheel on top of the car so that it can turn very quickly and look around.

















              •   Deep Learning: This is the car brain that makes driving decisions based on the information gathered through
                  various sources such as computer vision, sensors, etc.
                      Robotics: Self-driving cars have a brain and a vision, but the brain still needs to connect to other parts of the
                     car to control and navigate it effectively. Robotics helps transfer driving decisions (through deep learning) to
                     steering, braking, acceleration, etc.
                      Navigation:  Using  GPS,  saved  maps,  etc.,  the  car  navigates  through  busy  roads  and  obstacles  to  reach  its
                     destination.
