Autonomous cars can detect surroundings using a variety of techniques such as radar, lidar, GPS, odometry, and computer vision. 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. Some demonstrative systems, precursory to autonomous cars, date back to the 1920s and 30s. The first self-sufficient (and therefore, truly autonomous) cars appeared in the 1980s, with Carnegie Mellon University's Navlab and ALV proje...

Gorilla Glass

Gorilla Glass Gorilla Glass  is a brand of specialized  toughened glass  developed and manufactured by Corning , now in its fourth generation, designed to be thin, light and damage-resistant. This type of glass is not unique to Corning; similar glasses include  Asahi Glass Co.   Dragontrail  and Schott AG  Xensation. The  alkali - aluminosilicate  sheet glass is used primarily as cover glass for portable electronic devices, including  mobile phones ,  portable media players ,  portable computer  displays, and some  television  screens. It is manufactured in  Harrodsburg, Kentucky , USA, in  Asan , Korea, and in Taiwan. The glass gains its surface strength, ability to contain flaws, and crack-resistance by being immersed in a hot potassium salt ion-exchange bath.
