Autonomous Vehicles Defined:
Vehicle that get from one point to another point without human interaction.
Implement a number of well placed sensors that detect different things such as other vehicles, people, traffic lights, and movement of other vehicles
The Technology of the Car :
Systems(Audi)
Infrared camera Anti-Lock Brakes.
Electronic Stability control.
Adaptive cruise control.
Lane-departure warning system .
Self parking .
Automated guided vehicle systems.
Lidar-Systems (with Google cars) or Cruise Automateds.
The Lidar System
Features:
Vertical and horizontal setup of the system possible
Image acquisition with fully integrated NIKON DSLR camera.
3D mode of the VZ scanner with continuous rotation of the scanning head for highly efficient mobile data acquisition.
360 degree static scanning.

Adaptive cruise control + forward collision warning :
o Car stays a safe distance behind cars ahead of it
o Warns or takes action in case of danger .
o Warns or takes action in case of danger .
Public Acceptance and Adoption :
Vehicle to vehicle technology cannot function ideally without adoption across the board.
Minority vs majority
