Application of sensors in autonomous driving technology

Nowadays, autonomous driving technology has become a frontier area of great concern to both academia and industry, and the importance of autonomous driving sensors, as the key core components supporting this technology, cannot be ignored. For self-driving cars, the sensor is like the vehicle's "sense organs", with the help of various advanced sensing technologies, can be real-time and accurate collection of the vehicle's surrounding complex environmental information, and to obtain the data to be efficient, in-depth analysis and processing. Based on this, the vehicle can make scientific and accurate decision-making judgment, so as to achieve safe and stable automatic driving. Following this logical relationship, the innovation and breakthrough of sensor technology, to a great extent, directly determines the evolution trend and development level of automatic driving technology. In this paper, the main categories of common sensors in the field of automatic driving are comprehensively sorted out, and the technical advantages and performance deficiencies of each type of sensor are discussed in depth, which are expected to give useful reference and reference for the subsequent research and engineering practice in this field.
