In many ways self-driving cars are a logical extension of existing driver aids such as lane-keeping systems (which follow road markings and sound a warning and correct the steering if a vehicle starts to drift out of its lane), adaptive cruise control (which maintains a constant distance from the vehicle in front, rather than a constant speed), auto-parking systems (which can reverse a car into a parking space), emergency braking (which slams on the brakes if an obstacle, another vehicle or a pedestrian is detected in front of the car) and satellite-navigation systems. For a car to drive itself, these systems must all be tied together using software, and supplemented with a set of sensors so that the software can tell what is going on around the vehicle. Accordingly, today's self-driving cars are covered with sensors. Mapping nearby features, spotting road edges and lane markings, reading signs and traffic lights and identifying pedestrians is done using a combination of cameras, radar and lidar (which works like radar, but with pulses of light rather than radio waves). Ultrasonic detectors provide more accurate mapping of the surroundings at short range, for example when parking. Gyroscopes, accelerometers and altimeters provide more accurate positioning than is possible using global-positioning system (GPS) satellites alone.  The passage supports which of the following inferences? OPTIONS     1) Computerized control of a car's steering, acceleration and braking have been possible even before the fully self-driving cars.   2) A self-driving car is unlikely to be successful on a snow covered road.   3) Equipped with myriad sensors, a self-driving car has greater situational awareness than a human driver.   4) 1 and 2 discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day A line joining mid-points of two sides in a triangle is parallel to the third side and half of the third side. more tips Last year's Question of the day (17-Jul-12) Tejas had 5 coins with him. 1 coin among these five coins has head on both the sides while other 4 coins are normal (I.e. unbiased). He randomly selects a coin and tossed it 5 times. If in all the five tosses he gets the head, then what is the probability that the selected coin was the unfair coin? OPTIONS     1) 7/8   2) 8/9   3) 5/6   4) 1/8   5) 6/13 discuss TestFunda.com - LEARN with THE LEADER in Online MBA Test Prep Demo Lessons   |   Take a Demo Test   |   Buy Courses   |   Fun Learning Games   |   100-Percentilers About TestFunda.com - TestFunda is backed by www.ZeusLearning.com. 3 IIT-IIM graduates form the Management Team. - The 85+ member team has vast experience in MBA Coaching and Computer-Based Training and Testing. - For 12 years Zeus has created award-winning courseware for companies like Discovery Channel, Reader's Digest, Texas Instruments, Pearson Education. - The TestFunda Advisory Board comprises CEOs and MDs of international educational companies.
