a viewer from the ugandan capital kampala sent in a question about that. how do autonomous cars avoid accidents. and autonomous vehicle constantly monitors traffic with cameras and a variety of senses it s claimed they can recognise potential hazards and respond to them even better than a human traffic can. a stereo camera detects road markings pedestrians and other road juices. grade our senses scan the road as far as 200 meters ahead of the car. and that is a scanned everything in $180.00 degree field of view. and ultrasonic senses measure the distance to houses and the cars using sound waves that bounce back off those objects. and they also draw on the nice digital map updates from the cost sat nav system. so it s only full profile right.
