Firstly‚ the core of Google’s self-driving car is the rotating roof top camera‚ Lidar‚ which is a laser range finder. It can produce an array of 64 laser beams to create 3D images of objects (see Figure 8 above). This enables the car in identifying obstacles that is along the way. It is also able to calculate how far an object is from the car according to the time the laser beam takes to hit the object and return back. These lasers are of high intensity that can calculate distance and create images

A self-driving car can sense its environment and things around it. It also has a GPS unit in the car‚ the car uses the positional information from the GPS to localize itself and give a 3-D image. From the 3-D images‚ humans program the car to make intelligent decisions ‚ for example using the 3-D to find an optimal path to their destination that avoids obstacles. Once the vehicle finds the best path to take‚ it sends a signal to the different parts of the car(steering‚ braking‚ throttle etc)
