Critically qualified to navigate the enormously contiguous territory of road safety and driving accuracy, the emergence of self-driving autonomous cars has brought the automakers to traject the power of recognition and opportunity illustrating the principle of the survival of the fittest.

Absorbing the environment through a variety of sensors like GPS (Global Positioning System), Lidar (Light detection and ranging), Radar (Radio detection and ranging), cameras, and Ultrasound sensors combined with artificial intelligence, the highly automated technology of the self-driving cars does not require a human driver to steer or pedal to operate. Promising a range of potential benefits like greater road safety, greater independence, more productivity, reduced congestion, and decreased carbon emissions, self-driving technology has the ability to reshape the transportation system.

Filled to the brim with space-age technology, self-driving cars rely on the hardware to collect the data and the software to process the input data through machine learning algorithms for better decision making. Will this combination of hardware and machine learning software replicate the human eye?
