How do self-driving cars “see”? | Sajan Saini | TED-Ed Animation

In this lesson-based TED Talk, “How do self-driving cars ‘see’?” Sajan Saini provides insight on how the artificial intelligence of self-driving cars works to help broaden your knowledge of technology, AI and robotics. This video opens with a scenario to set up the lesson: it’s late, pitch dark, and a self-driving car winds down a narrow country road. Suddenly, three hazards appear at the same time. The car uses smart eyes and sensors to resolve these details in a split-second. How is this possible? Saini explains the technology that makes self-driving cars a reality and also offers insight on how this artificial intelligence was developed to deepen your understanding.
