The vehicle control unit consists of four multi-megapixel machine vision cameras, four lidars, two radars, four inertial assemblies, two high-precision satellite navigation receivers, a 16-channel sonar sensor system and other equipment. Machine vision provides the probability of building and performing a safe route at the level of at least 99.99%.
