vehicle perception

Vehicle perception refers to a car's ability to understand its surroundings using advanced sensors like cameras, radar, and lidar. These sensors collect data about nearby objects, road conditions, traffic signals, and other features. The vehicle's onboard systems process this information to recognize lanes, detect obstacles, and assess moving or stationary objects. This capability enables autonomous or driver-assist vehicles to navigate safely, avoid collisions, and make informed decisions in real-time. Essentially, vehicle perception is the "sense" that helps a vehicle interpret its environment much like a human would through sight and awareness.
