You might have seen that vehicles, whether it’s a car or truck, now come with rear cameras and sensors attached at the back. The question is—earlier, vehicles did not come with these, but now they do. Why?

It is because it was a problem for drivers to back their car safely. If there was darkness or a blind spot, then unusual accidents might happen—and several were taking place too. So innovators thought about this and came up with the idea of using sensors to identify whether an obstacle is behind or not, for proper and safe driving.

How this is a STEM based application ?

Science explains how sound waves (ultrasonic) or electromagnetic fields are used by the sensors to detect nearby objects.

Technology expains and deals for the introduction of sensors and cameras used to identify the obstacle

Engineering is here to design, build, and position the sensors effectively in the bumper, ensuring wide-angle coverage and durability in tough road conditions.

Mathematics is used to calculate distances, angles, and response times.

So, this is a clear overview of how STEM is now incorporated into our daily life hurdles, making it smooth to run in a safe and efficient way.
