Google autonomous vehicle: How do Google's self-driving cars work?

Google's self-driving cars are equipped with GPS, LiDAR, cameras, and radars to navigate and select optimal routes. These technologies help track other vehicles, read road signs, and detect distances. However, the cars require precise mapping and face algorithmic challenges, as demonstrated by an incident where a car collided with a bus due to a misjudgment.

Which technology in Google's self-driving cars is responsible for detecting the distance to surrounding objects?

• Radar

• LiDAR

• GPS

• Video Camera

What role does the video camera play in Google's self-driving cars?

• Detects distance to objects

• Provides internet connectivity

• Reads road signs and traffic lights
