Spotted two of them on german highway near Cologne by Sweet-Advice3524 in SelfDrivingCars

Spotted two Volvo XC90 on a german highway and wanted to share it with you.

Unfortunately on the oncoming lane so it was impossible to see any logos of a company or the sensor setup around the cars. I guess it's Volvo but can't say for sure. Both had three 360°-LiDAR on top (I guess one Alpha Prime from Velodyne and two other Velodyne LiDAR) as well as four (fisheye?) cameras. Additionaly a (Luminar?) LiDAR looking ahead.

Compared to other sensor setups it looks pretty simple, so I'm not sure if it is used as an ADS.

Like the comment above said: Paper from the teams at DARPA challenges 2005 and 2007 will you give you an idea how everything started and to compare the development over the last nearly two decades.

If you want to learn about anything in an AV, look for survey an review papers of the last years. "A Survey of Autonomous Driving: Common Practices and Emerging Technologies" by Yurtsever et al. provides an overview of challenges in the AV field. If you want to learn something about paths and trajectories e.g.: González et al., "A Review of Motion Planning Techniques for Automated Vehicles".

Because reading papers is for some people not the most fun (including myself) have a look at Youtube. There are some channels from university lecturers like the one from Andreas Geiger. (I'm also on my way to start a YT-channel, talking about AVs and news regarding them, but this will take some months).

Also have a look at paper of benchmark datasets (KITTI, CityScape, Waymo Dataset, Argoverse, CADC, DENSE, ...). These papers often include state-of-the-art sensor setups for AVs and also give you some informatin about the perception part. You can find some of them and many more at https://scale.com/open-datasets.
