3. Safety Systems:
a. Redundant Systems:
-> Multiple backup computers and sensors
-> Fail-safe mechanisms for emergency situations

b. Remote Monitoring:
-> Control centers track vehicle performance
-> Can intervene if necessary

5/
b. HD Maps:
-> Uses detailed maps for precise navigation
-> Updates in real-time with traffic conditions

4/
2. Processing Information:
a. AI and Machine Learning:
-> Processes data from all sensors in real-time
-> Makes decisions about steering, acceleration, and braking
-> Predicts behavior of other road users

3/
b. Cameras:
-> Provide visual information about traffic signals, signs, and road markings
-> Help identify pedestrians, cyclists, and other vehicles

c. Radar:
-> Measures distances and speeds of nearby objects
-> Works effectively in poor weather conditions

How Does a Robotaxi Work?
1. Sensing the Environment:
a. LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging):
-> Sends out laser pulses to create 3D maps of surroundings
-> Detects objects up to 300 meters away

While these are all great hypotheses, more research is needed to confirm exactly why scorpions glow under UV light. Nature often evolves fascinating traits with multiple purposes, and this glowing phenomenon might even serve additional functions we haven’t discovered yet! 🦂✨

It could act as a sort of built-in "signaling system" to distinguish their own species from other creatures.

5/
b. Another theory is that fluorescence helps scorpions recognize each other. Since scorpions are generally solitary but occasionally interact for mating or territory purposes, the glow might help them identify other scorpions in the dark.

For example, if there’s still too much sunlight or moonlight (which also contains UV), they might stay hidden to avoid predators or desiccation (drying out in the sun).

a.Scorpions are nocturnal creatures, meaning they are most active at night and avoid sunlight. The compounds in their exoskeleton that react to UV light might act as a natural "light sensor." By detecting UV radiation, scorpions could determine whether it’s safe to come out of their hiding places

The glowing trait of scorpions under UV light could help them in several ways, and while scientists don’t know the exact reason, there are several theories:
