Abstract

In the past five years, intelligent driving technology has gradually matured, and autonomous driving technology has gradually moved towards the L3-L5 level, so the environmental perception system needs to continuously update its accuracy and stability. Sensors are one of the important ways to receive and transmit environmental signals, so the use and selection of sensors are particularly important. In intelligent driving systems, the monitoring and collection of environmental signals are usually carried out in the form of the joint work of multiple or multi-modal sensors. Therefore, understanding the functions and advantages and disadvantages of different sensors is of great help to people in the development of sensor fusion and intelligent driving systems. This article mainly outlines the different types of sensors used in intelligent driving, such as cameras, millimeter-wave radars, lidars, and ultrasonic sensors, as well as their advantages and disadvantages in application, the development of different sensors and the opportunities and challenges of future applications and intelligent driving, to help future generations better retrieve and develop intelligent driving systems.
