text: First, consider the matter of how driverless cars could be aware. Unlike typical cars today, these cars, which are under development by Google and other significant companies, are built with different types of sensors. These sensors all serve different purposes that make the vehicle more aware of its surroundings by constantly generating a 3-D interpretation of the car's general area. Not only that, but they also feature things like GPS recievers, position-estimating and motion sensors, and even inner features that keep tabs on the driver so they are able to take over the wheel if need be. With these functions in place, these driverless vehicles are able to be just as aware as humans are in the driver's seat, if not more so.
