text: Sensors have been in use in the automotive industry to add safety to there vehicles, and this technology will help make driverless cars much more safe than human-driven vehicles. When driverless cars can completely be self-driven, they will be using many sensors to be safer than their human-driven counterparts. With completely driverless cars, there will be no more room for human errors; there will be nothing that destracts driverless cars. Google has been making semi-driverless cars which have driven more than half a million miles without a single accident. These cars use a multitude of sensors to estimate the distance of objects near them. Sensors have been in use for over 30 years in the automotive industry to improve safety. One of the most important uses of sensors was with the creation of the antilock brake. These sensors were used 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.
