Foundational Technologies inAutonomous Vehicles AI Algorithms & Machine Learning Machine learning, including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, forms the core of AV technology. These algorithms process large datasets to enable vehicles to perceive and react to their environment. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, uses neural networks for perception, localization, path planning, motion control, and decision-making, enhancing AV accuracy and reliability. Computer Vision & Sensor Fusion Computer vision enables AVs to interpret surroundings by processing images and videos for object detection, classification, and depth estimation. Sensor fusion combines data from thousands of sensors like lidar and radar, integrating inputs to create a comprehensive environmental understanding for safer navigation.
- 3. Current State ofAutonomous Vehicle Technology Industry Leaders Major automakers like Tesla, Ford, Toyota, and Indian companies such as Tata and Mahindra are advancing AV technology with real-world testing and deployments. Key Milestones From 1990s sensor advances to Google's Waymo and Tesla's Autopilot, AVs have improved safety, accessibility, and traffic efficiency. Case Studies Tesla leads with Autopilot and Full Self-Driving features, while Mahindra and Tata focus on electric vehicles with emerging autonomous capabilities in India.
