The technology underpinning the development of autonomous vehicles includes a combination of sensors, machine learning algorithms, and advanced mapping systems. Sensors such as cameras, LIDAR, and radar deliver real-time data about the vehicle's surroundings. Machine learning algorithms process this data, enabling the vehicle to recognize objects, interpret traffic signals, and make driving decisions. Advanced mapping and localization technologies help vehicles navigate and operate in various environments. Together, these technologies work to create safe and efficient self-driving systems.
