Answer 1

Cameras look at all the things around the car, and they send the video to a really good computer that has been trained to identify certain shapes like lines on the road and traffic lights.

Then the computer tells the other things in car what to do based on what it sees, like when the light is red it hits the brakes, and when the lines on the road turn to the left then the computer tells the steering wheel to turn left.
