The electromagnetic parking sensor (EPS) was re-invented and patented in 1992 by Mauro Del Signore. [2] Electromagnetic sensors rely on the vehicle moving slowly and smoothly towards the object to be avoided. Once an obstacle is detected, the sensor continues to signal the presence of the obstacle even if the vehicle momentarily stops.
A curvilinear array ultrasonic transducer for use in medical ultrasonography Inside construction of a Philips C5-2 128 element curved array ultrasound sensor. Ultrasonic transducers and ultrasonic sensors are devices that generate or sense ultrasound energy. They can be divided into three broad categories: transmitters, receivers and transceivers.
Example of obstacle avoidance using sensors. One of the most common approaches to obstacle avoidance is the use of various sensors, such as ultrasonic, LiDAR, radar, sonar, and cameras. These sensors allow an autonomous machine to do a simple 3 step process: sense, think, and act.

An ultrasonic level or sensing system requires no contact with the target. For many processes in the medical, pharmaceutical, military and general industries this is an advantage over inline sensors that may contaminate the liquids inside a vessel or tube or that may be clogged by the product. Both continuous wave and pulsed systems are used.
Telemetry is used to communicate the variable measurements of flow and tank level sensors detecting fluid movements and/or volumes by pneumatic, hydrostatic, or differential pressure; tank-confined ultrasonic, radar or Doppler effect echoes; or mechanical or magnetic sensors. [26] [27] [28
An enhanced system, called Ultrasonic Rear Occupant Alert, also uses ultrasonic sensors. [2] If the vehicle is locked and the ultrasonic sensors on the headlining detect movement in the rear seats, the system will flash the hazards lights and sound the horn for 25 seconds, and again if the system continue to detect movement, for up to eight ...
A self-driving Uber car accident in 2018 is an example of autonomous vehicle accidents that are also listed among self-driving car fatalities. A report made by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) showed that the self-driving Uber car was unable to identify the victim in a sufficient amount of time for the vehicle to slow down and ...
