The Heart of the Revolution: Embedded Systems and AI 🖥️
At the core of self-driving cars are sophisticated embedded systems, integrated with cutting-edge AI algorithms. These systems are the brains of AVs, enabling them to make sense of the world around them.

How Do Autonomous Vehicles 'See'? 🤔
It all starts with sensors - LIDAR, cameras, radar, and ultrasonic detectors. These sensors are the eyes and ears of the AV, constantly collecting data about their surroundings. But here's where the magic happens: AI algorithms process this sensor data in real-time, creating a detailed understanding of the environment.

Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance 🚦
One of the critical functions of AI in AVs is navigation. AI interprets the data to identify paths, read traffic signs, and understand traffic signals. Simultaneously, it's constantly on the lookout for obstacles - be it a pedestrian, a stray animal, or another vehicle. Making split-second decisions, the AI ensures the vehicle avoids these obstacles while staying on course.

The Decision-Making Process 🧠
The decision-making in autonomous vehicles is a marvel of AI. It's not just about following a set of pre-programmed instructions; the AI evaluates multiple factors - like speed, distance, road conditions - to make decisions that ensure passenger safety and adhere to traffic laws.

The Road Ahead 🌆
We are witnessing a technological revolution on our streets. As AVs evolve, they promise not only increased safety and efficiency but also a new era of mobility, especially for those who cannot drive.
