Understand the Principles of Driverless Cars

Driverless cars are also called self-driving cars or wheeled mobile robots. It is an unmanned ground vehicle with transportation power. Our ideal driverless cars can drive from location A to location B without human operation. No matter how complicated the environment is on the way, or how bad the weather is, it will be done by the machine itself. The core of driverless cars lies in driverless technology. If the automobile industry is the crown of manufacturing, then driverless technology is the jewel of the crown.

Driverless cars require the integration of multiple technologies to achieve. It is not a single new technology. It includes the following technologies. Radar. Lidar. Camera. GPS. Computer vision. Decision-making system. Operating system. High-precision map. Real-time positioning. Mechanical control. Energy consumption. Heat dissipation management, etc. Although driverless cars look like sci-fi, dreams are actually being reflected in reality.

Its degree of automation can generally be divided into 6 levels. According to the order of the degree of automation from low to high. They are Level 0 to Level 5.

The core of driverless cars is perception. Autonomous vehicles have four eyes with different fields of vision. Including wireless radar, lidar, ultrasonic radar and camera. Through them, different fields of vision can be obtained.
