The self-driving cars are designed to navigate safely through busy city streets and freeways. The vehicles are equipped with sensors and software that are able to detect objects nearly 200 yards away in all directions, from vehicles, to pedestrians, to floating plastic shopping bags.

1. Sensors: lasers, radars, and cameras allow the car to detect objects in all directions

2. Computer: designed for self-driving

3. Electric Batteries: powers the vehicle

4. Back-Up Systems: manage steering, braking, computing, and more

5. Rounded Shape: maximize the sensor’s field of view
