   What does LiDAR stand for?

   Hint

   Think about what LiDAR does with light.

2. 2.

   What type of waves do ultrasonic sensors use?

   Hint

   These waves are similar to those used in echolocation.

3. 3.

   What is the primary function of LiDAR in ACVs?

   • Obstacle detection
   • Creating 3D maps
   • Radial measurement

   Hint

   Consider how LiDAR's name relates to its function.

4. 4.

   True or False: GPS is part of the GNSS.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about other satellite systems.

5. 5.

   Analyze how a malfunctioning sensor might impact the operation of an ACV on a construction site.

   Hint

   Think about scenarios when you lose sight or hearing.

6. 6.

   Design a method to integrate additional sensors into an existing ACV that enhances its perception capabilities.

   Hint

   Consider what environmental factors might be important.
