Section outline

  • Lesson Goal: Explain how self-driving (autonomous) cars work and the challenges they face – focusing on the sensors and AI they use, the trade-off between speed and safety, and how autonomous vehicles might shape the future of transportation.

    • ·         Micro-Topic 1: How Self-Driving Cars Work (Goal: Understand the basic technology of self-driving cars, including the sensors (like cameras, LIDAR, radar) that let them “see” the road and the AI software that makes driving decisions.)
