What is Autonomous Driving Feature?
, Autonomous driving or autopilot means driving a car without the help of a driver. This technology works on the basis of many different inputs. For example, it connects to direct satellite for maps. Where the passenger wants to go, this bar is selected in the map. After this the route is selected.
, When the car is on autopilot mode, along with satellite, it also gets input from the cameras provided around the car. That is, there is no object in front or behind the car, right or left. The car moves left-right or stops when an object is in place.
, The car also has a number of sensors, which help keep the car in the road-lane and read the signal. In autopilot mode, the speed of the car reaches up to 112 kmph. However, in this technique many times the sensors stop working due to which accidents happen.
