that hopes to be able to create uncrashable cars. now, i m getting in this vehicle, which is embedded with lidar sensors, which should stop it from hitting the, luckily, pretend child at the end of this track. beside me is a tesla, which is already fitted with a system that s in most new cars, which uses cameras and radars to hopefully prevent it from hitting something if an accident s likely to happen. but what are its limitations? suspenseful music. this feels horrible. you so just want it to stop if it gets really close. and it has quite a jolt, obviously, but we haven t hit the child. whereas the tesla. suspenseful music. that was quite something. this technology is already being built into cars right now as a safety function, and in the future, could be used in autonomous vehicles too. this tesla and other cars with current collision avoidance systems have their limits as to what they can prevent. accidents still happen but lidar has the potential to raise
