3. INTRODUCTION-

4.  It is the project by google that involves
developing technology for the driverless car
 This project Led by Google engineer Sebastian
thrun who is director of stanford artificial
intelligence & co-inventor of google street view

5. HISTORY-
First driverless car by
general motors in newyork
 First driverless car
proposed by general
motors in 1939
 In 1925 haudina lab
discovered radio
controlled driverless
car

6. What is Driverless car ?
 it is a vehicle that can drive itself from one
point to another point without driver , in
other words car with an autopilot system.
 Can steer itself.
 Can accelerate itself.
 Can go &stop itself.

7. Google launched driverless car in 2015

8. Reason behind the making ?
 Driver error is the most common cause of road
accident
 Nearly 1.25 million people die in road accident each
year, that is one person is killed every 25 second
 Using cell phone during driving, drink &drive
,entertainment system are the reason for the road
accident
 So, to solve this all problem driverless car is useful
for us and this is a reason behind making it.

9. How it work ?
 It is controlled by
computer
 It require input or
instruction from
human
 After giving input or
instruction it will
drive automatically.

10. Components-
 Google map
 Hardware sensors
 Arrtificial intelligence software

11. Google maps –
 Google maps interacts with GPS & acts like
data base
 Speed limits
 Upcoming obstacles
 Traffic report
 Directions
 Nearby collisions

12. Artificial intelligence –
 Determines-
1)How to accelerate ?
2)When to slow down /stop
3)when to steer the wheel
*Goal-
Take the passenger to the
destination safely

13. Sensors used -
1)LIDAR
2)Video camera
3)Position estimator
4)Distance sensors

14. LIDAR- ‘Eyes’ of Google car
 It is a heart of system
 Light detection and ranging
 Optical remote sensing technology
 Scanning distance of 60 meters
 Road line markers and stop line with an
accuracy of 2 inches

15. Video camera-
 Mounted near rearview mirror to detect
road signs and traffic lights , speed limits
 It also has computer on the board of vehicle
to recognise obstacles such as
cyclist,&pedistrian

17. Currently-
 6 Google driverless cars manufactured
1) 5 Toyota prius
2) 1 AUDI
#NEVADA –
*first state to allow driverless vehicle
can be legally operated on public roads

18. Advanteges-
 Reduce road accident
 Reduced journey time
 Elimination of driving licenses
 Auotomatic parking
 Environment friendly

19. Conclusion -
 Very useful
 Pollution free
 Echo friendly
 Will be available in india in 2020
