Lidar is incorporated into the roof, and there is an additional sensor array called the "SmartZone" of dual radar and a high-definition video camera built into the front of the car where a grille would traditionally be placed. The vehicle has no side nor rear-view mirrors, as these have all been replaced with cameras. The Precept runs Google's Android Automotive operating system.
