SDC sensors

Autonomous cars consist of many sensors. The camera is one of the sensors, and there are others such sensors, such as LIDAR, RADAR, ultrasonic sensors, and odometers. 

The following image shows the various sensors that are used in an SDC:

Knowledge of perceptrons is not enough for a SDC. We must also learn about sensor fusion, localization, path planning, and control. 

Sensor fusion is one of the crucial steps when it comes to creating autonomous vehicles. Generally, an autonomous vehicle uses an extensive number of sensors that help it recognize its environment and locate itself. 

We will briefly discuss the sensors used in autonomous vehicles in the following sections.
