Included in the pre-installed equipment in the autonomous car is a $70,000 LIDAR system which uses 64 beam lasers fired from a mounted range finder to generate an extremely detailed 3D representation of the immediate environment. Combined with the pre-programmed data of the street-level maps of the world, the 3D map generated by the lasers are used as basis for the car’s movements and decision-making.

During the initial testings conducted in mid-2015, most of the issues encountered by the self-driving car included safety concerns when there was snow or heavy rain. There were recorded instances when the car relied heavily on historical route data that it did not obey recently-adjusted traffic lights. When the car was faced with complicated unmapped locations, it switched to a slower and inefficient extra-safe mode. The 3D map it generated was unable to differentiate harmless light debris from heavy obstructions.
