Based on the model, the car then identifies an appropriate navigation path and strategies for managing traffic controls (stop signs, etc.) and obstacles.

Control systems interpret sensory information to create a three-dimensional model of the vehicle's surroundings. Self-driving cars use sensors to perceive their surroundings, such as optical and thermographic cameras, radar, lidar, ultrasound/ sonar, GPS, odometry and inertial measurement units.

A self-driving car, also known as an autonomous car, driver-less car, or robotic car ( robo-car), is a car that is capable of traveling without human input.
