In an awesome
showcase of the driverless car simulation technology, TechPlus in collaboration
with MTN Nigeria wowed several Lagos residents by test-running a car which
drove itself on the streets of Lagos without no driver.
The driverless car
technology makes cars capable of sensing its environment and navigating without
human input.
Driverless vehicles
detect surroundings using radar, lidar, GPS, odometry, and computer vision.
It’s advanced
control systems interpret sensory information to identify appropriate
navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant signage.
Autonomous cars
have control systems that are capable of analyzing sensory data to distinguish
between different cars on the road, which is very useful in planning a path to
the desired destination.
Ahead of the big
date for Africa’s LARGEST Tech Gathering, #TechPlus2016, a press conference was
organised today to afford journalists and digital media influencers first-rate
access to the plans and agenda for the all-things tech event scheduled to hold
from 21-23 July, 2016 at the EKO Hotels &Suites, Lagos-Nigeria.
Expectedly, the
media conference also had in attendance sponsors and partners of #TechPlus2016,
including MTN, Samsung, Lenovo, Jumia, IBST, Coscharis, The Guardian,
Megalectics – Operators of the BeatFM, ClassicFM and NaijaFM and a host of
other amazing sponsors.
