How Self-Driving Cars Work, and the Google Waymo Experience Video

Recently, Google started trials on their own brand of autonomous vehicle, called Google Waymo, which uses a system of neural networks and advanced radar to learn to react to its surroundings in a split second. Waymo starts work when the passenger chooses a destination, then the car calculates a route. As it is driving, many different sensors and radar systems are continuously communicating with each other and using their own data input, as well as data from Google maps, to respond to the car's surroundings. Sensors in both the front and back bumpers of the car also are always watching for possible obstacles. The Waymo vehicle has an operator override system, too, which allows the passenger to still have control.

    Thankyou for the information. Livewire Technologies have built multiple tool sets required to address the growing needs of the labeling industry with automation being the key focus area.

How Much Does a Self-Driving Car Cost?

Image
Right now, while still in the development stage, autonomous vehicles come at a high ticket price given the cost of supplying the advanced technology many of them require. For example, one of the Google Waymo cars has an expected cost of around $150,000, mostly due to the fact that its radar system alone costs around $75,000. However, with the mainstreaming of self-driving cars, it is likely that researchers will find ways to cut costs and make more affordable models that are just as safe and efficient.

What is an Autonomous Vehicle?

Image
An autonomous vehicle (a.k.a. driverless car or self-driving car) is an automobile that relies on technology such as sensors, radar, and advanced cameras to transport people independently. This means that they should be able to use technology to safely react to situations while in traffic without needing human intervention.
