text: According to "Driverless Cars Are Coming," a sensing system called LIDAR that "uses laser beams to form a constantly updating 3-D model of the car's surroundings." This would eliminate the current problem of blindspots and reduce the rate of collisions dramatically. The LIDAR system would also be able to instantly sense any changes in the surrounding area, where as a human would only be aware of a change if he/she looked in the correct mirror, or when a collision was already happening. There has also been an advance in wheel sensors. According to "Driverless Cars Are Coming", these sensors can detect various dangerous situations and 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." Obviously, these sensors can keep the passengers and general public safer than just one unassisted driver.
