LiDAR, cameras, and AI: Industry experts weigh in on the future of self-driving tech

In the future, “riders absolutely no responsibility to pay attention to the driving task except to sit back, relax, and enjoy their favorite music.”Autonomous cars, or self-driving cars, are equipped with advanced sensors, cameras, LiDAR, and AI-driven software that allow them to navigate and operate without human intervention. Classified from Level 0 to Level 5 , these cars can independently perceive their environment, plan routes, and execute driving tasks.

Moving up a level, the ADAS can steer and either brake or accelerate simultaneously while the driver remains fully aware behind the wheel and continues to act as the driver. At the top level, level 5, the vehicle’s ADS acts as a virtual chauffeur and does all the driving in all circumstances. The human occupants are passengers and are never expected to drive the car.

In general, the idea is that the driver , sets a destination in the vehicle. From that instruction, the autonomous vehicle will plan and calculate the route . The systems must make instantaneous decisions on when to slow down, swerve, or continue acceleration normally. This is a continuing challenge for developers, and there are reports of self-driving cars hesitating and swerving unnecessarily when objects are detected in or near the roadways.

While this is almost automatic for humans, engineers have had to find ways for an autonomous vehicle to readily handle audio and visual signals and react safely and appropriately.This is enough of a challenge for humans; imagine the level of research and development needed to make compute-controlled vehicles do the same. To this end, it should come as no surprise, that autonomous vehicles are not foolproof.When an autonomous Uber sadly hit and killed a pedestrian.
