 Autonomous cars are build to drive from
their own, i.e. they need no driver.
 No driver
 Safety (future)
 Roadway cappacity ( distance between two
cars)

4. Technologies needed

 Navigation
 Motion planning
 Actuation

5. Sensors
 Immediat environment
 Warnings: mitigation, collision
prevention

6. Navigation
 Route plotting
 GPS
 Life updates on road blockages

7. Motion planning
 The process of detailing a task into
discrete motions
 Avoiding, road users, obstacles, …
○ Sensors!
 Route is needed
○ Navigation!
