Cruise Automation's Self-driving car
Cruise Automation is inventing a self-driving car, the owner of Cruise Automation is Kyle Vogt. The self-driving technology is currently only working on Audi A4's. There are several sensors,radars and actuators all controlled by a central computer.
The Cruise RP-1 sees the road and cars around you through the sensor pod mounted on the roof of your car. Through a combination of cameras, radar, and other measurement systems, the Sensor Pod relays what it detects back to the Cruise Computer to make real time decisions on where to go.
The Controls for the Cruise RP-1 seamlessly integrate into your car making it easy to engage and disengage the autopilot. A simple click of a button will enable the RP-1 to take control of your steering and speed. Just sit back and watch as the RP-1 guides your car down the road.
In the trunk of your car you will find the Computer - the brain of the RP-1. Taking up less than two feet of space and mounted off to the side, the Computer calculates exactly what it needs to do to keep you and your loved ones safe using state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms.
The product benefits the society by making it safe and efficient while driving. The driver-less car technology also lets the driver to relax while sitting in the car. The car helps inexperienced drivers to learn how to drive the car.

Reflection
I used tech projects as a search and put '- science' to filter out all the searches with science. The keywords I used led me to finding the tech project. I got my project in my first search. I never faced any problems and finding the tech project went very smooth.
