Hey all, I’m here again and welcomes you all in my 2nd
part of my blog on autonomous car. Last time I got some questions in my comment
section so I’ll try to answer all the questions in a single brief paragraph.
Starting with a concise definition, “Autonomous vehicle” means a vehicle capable of navigating district
roadways and interpreting traffic-control devices without a driver actively
operating any of the vehicle’s control systems. The term “autonomous vehicle”
excludes a motor vehicle enabled with active safety systems or driver-
assistance systems, including systems to provide electronic blind-spot
assistance, crash avoidance, emergency braking, parking assistance, adaptive
cruise control, lane-keep assistance, lane-departure warning, or traffic-jam
and queuing assistance, unless the system alone or in combination with other
systems enables the vehicle on which the technology is installed to drive
without active control or monitoring by a human operator.
And the questions of Applications will be covered in
Future Aspects of the same series of blog.
Now moving ahead from the last blog-
Autonomous cars combine a variety of techniques to perceive their surroundings, including radar, laser light, GPS, odometer, and computer vision. Advanced control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage.

The word 'Radar' is acronym as Radio detection and Ranging.
Radar is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to determine the range, angle, or
velocity of objects. It works on the basic principle of reflection of waves (light).
There is a device called magnetron which generates a high frequency radio waves
as a signals on passing a high current through it, these radio waves strikes on
the objects and reflect back and the transmitter receives the signals and
transfers it to advance control system.
The advance control system convert it into fundamental dimensions like distance, direction and speed of the object. In autonomous car, the main function of radar is to determine the distance of objects from the car and objects so whenever the object or car is near to the autonomous car it send signal to control system and the control system takes the best needed decision for that instant.
Rather than Automobiles, The modern uses of radar are highly diverse, including air and terrestrial traffic control, radar astronomy, air-defense systems, antimissile systems, marine radars to locate landmarks and other ships, aircraft anti-collision systems, ocean surveillance systems, outer space surveillance and rendezvous systems, meteorological precipitation monitoring, altimetry and flight control systems, guided missile target locating systems, ground-penetrating radar for geological observations, and range-controlled radar for public health surveillance.
On the next blog I’ll discuss about the “LIDAR” the heart of autonomous car. If you have any questions, write it down in the comment section below. If you found it informative then do share with your friends. Thank you !!!
