important work is taking place at the university of reno, nevada, that's attempting to solve that problem it all begins here, on the corner of 15th and virginia. so at that corner, we have a lidar sensor. that lidar sensor used to be on the autonomous vehicle. but we move it from the vehicle to the intersection, so it can track each pedestrian here, each vehicle here... what kind of things is that picking up? is it recognising who people are? no, it only recognises this is a pedestrian, or this is a vehicle. it does not recognise who the person is. think of this intersection as providing more eyes to an autonomous vehicle. it could detect a threat and communicate that to a car heading in its direction, telling it to slow down, beware. so what these sensors are doing, in essence, is giving autonomous cars more eyes on the road. yes. so theyjust know more about what is coming up ahead. exactly, so no black spots. part of the same programme is this connected car, a modified lincoln that can not only drive itself around, but also communicate with other vehicles and components in the city, sig
