Why did I chose a self-driving car?

You won't have to worry about mistakes that increase
your costs and harm the environment when you use an
autonomous vehicle. Because autonomous vehicles will
accelerate and decelerate much more smoothly, there is a lower
likelihood that excess fuel consumption will occur. These cars
will also make efficient use of speed.

FUNCTION
These sensors allow obtaining information on the
location of other vehicles, their position, the distance and the
lane in which they are traveling. This, together with GPS
information and sufficiently accurate maps, indicate to the car
its situation and the elements around it at all times. In some
cases, it also allows adaptation to weather conditions.


Features of Autonomous Cars
 Lane Control - This is the ability to stay safely within the lane, which is achieved by monitoring distances to lane markers, road edges and adjacent
vehicles. Some of these systems utilize the global positioning system (GPS) to pinpoint locations.
 Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) - This feature is an enhancement of the common cruise control that maintains a constant speed. ACC, by contrast,
is a safety feature, dedicated to maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle ahead.
 Automatic Emergency Braking System (AEBS) - This safety feature is essential for fully autonomous vehicles as it automatically stops the vehicle
to avoid a collision.
 Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) - This technology is used for distance determination and object identification. Standalone mountable units
are used on drones as well as road vehicles.
