Driver-less Cars- An Unmanned ground vehicle is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigate without human also known as  autonomous car, self-driving car, robotic car.

An autonomous car and unmanned ground vehicle is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment and navigate without human. A driver-less car is a robotic vehicle that is designed to travel between destinations without a human operator. As fully autonomous, a vehicle must be able to navigate without human intervention to a predetermined destination over roads that have not been adapted for its use. Waymo is an autonomous car development company and subsidiary of Google’s parent company, Waymo stands for a new way forward in mobility.

Google had begun testing the self-driving car project in 2009. Alphabet describes Waymo as”a self-driving tech company with a mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to move around”. The new company is working towards making self-driving cars available to the public soon. The company plans that next step will be to let people trial fully self-driving cars to do everyday things like run errands or commute to work.

According to Reuters, 320 companies involved in driver-less cars are using Nvidia Drive to enable automakers, truck-mamanufacturers and startups to accelerate the production of automated and autonomous vehicles. The company is also expected to collaborate with Silicon Valley startup Aurora to build a new self-driving hardware platform. Nvidia already has partnerships with car-makers Tesla and Baidu.

how its works: The Video cameras detect traffic lights, read road signs and keep track of other vehicles, while also looking out for pedestrians and other obstacles.

Radar sensors dotted around the car monitor the position of vehicles nearby. Lidar sensors help to detect the edges of roads and identify lane markings by bouncing pulses of light off the car’s surroundings.

Ultrasonic sensors in the wheels can detect the position of curbs and other vehicles when parking.

At last, a central computer analyses all of the data from the various sensors to manipulate the steering, acceleration and braking. In short There are several systems that work in conjunction with each other to control a driver-less car.Radar sensors dotted around the car monitor the position of vehicles nearby. The bell housing contains a torque converter for automatic transmission-equipped vehicles as opposed to a clutch.

The torque converter is a fluid coupling whose job it is to connect your engine to your transmission and thus to your driven wheels. Lidar sensors help to detect the edges of roads and identify lane markings by bouncing pulses of light off the car’s surroundings.
