Self Driving ( Autonomous ) Driver less cars

A self driving car is a vehicle that uses a combination of Sensors, Cameras, Radar and Artificial Intelligence to travel between destinations without human operator. A vehicle must be able to navigate without human intervention to a predetermined destination over roads that have not been adapted for its use. The most noticeable is the rotating Roof-top LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) - camera that uses an array of either 32 or 64 lasers to measure the distance between objects, building up a 3D Map at a range of 200 m and allowing the car to "see" hazards. LIDAR is a surveying method that measures the distance to a target by illuminating the target with pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. The car also has another sets of "eyes" - a standard camera that points through the window screen. This looks for nearby hazards like pedestrians, cyclists and other motorists as well as reading road signs and detecting traffic lights. Speaki
