The human eye may hold the fix for self-driving cars

Although self-driving cars are currently equipped with sensors such as cameras, LiDAR and radar (pictured), those sensors still struggle with lighting conditions that rapidly switch between light and dark

In today’s world, more and more daily tasks are being fully automated. Robotic devices can work independently, and they are often more efficient than humans. Yet, in some aspects, technology still cannot match what nature has created. One example is vision. Advanced cameras are used in modern robots and self-driving cars, allowing them to detect and recognize objects quickly and accurately, but there is one thing with which they still struggle: sudden changes in lighting. A research team from Pennsylvania State University may have found a solution.
