text: Since the 1980s sensors have been improving all around us. In the article, Driverless Cars Are Coming the author states "The information from the sensors can cause the car to apply brakes on individual wheels and reduce power from the engine, allowing far better response and control than a human driver could manage alone." Sensors such as those in the wheels are called speed sensors, they can help manage antlock brakes. Over time they have improved abundantly. Sensors can detect rollovers and out-of-control skids. But this isn't the only improvement yet.
