He was a tall man with an object in his hand looking like a knife, so I started panicking. I called my brother but he was at the movies with his friends. The man started knocking on the door, but when I…

Some of the major pieces are radio waves(RADAR), laser beams(LIDAR), and sound waves(SONAR). These types of technology all do something different to figure out how far another car is from the driverless car and prevent it from crashing.
