Arduino Self-Driving Car Lesson 7: Following a Lane

The video tutorial explains how to use infrared sensors with Arduino to enable autonomous vehicle lane detection. It covers the differences between digital and analog readings, circuit setup, and code implementation. The tutorial also includes testing and calibration of sensors, as well as programming vehicle behavior based on sensor inputs. The goal is to create a vehicle that can autonomously navigate a track by detecting lane lines using infrared sensors.

How do infrared sensors help an autonomous car stay in its lane?

Explain how the Arduino program can differentiate between light and dark surfaces using infrared sensors.

What is the difference between digital read and analog read commands in Arduino?

What are the potential problems when using digital read for detecting lane markers?

Describe the circuit setup for connecting infrared sensors to an Arduino.

What is the significance of using a pull-up resistor in the circuit with the infrared sensor?

What adjustments can be made to the threshold value in the code, and why is it important?

How can you use the serial print command to help calibrate your infrared sensor?

What steps should be taken to ensure the sensors are mounted correctly on the vehicle?

How does the behavior of the car change based on the readings from the two infrared sensors?
