Google self-driving car is any in a range of autonomous cars, developed by Google X as part of its project to develop technology for mainly electric cars. The software installed in Google's cars is called Google Chauffeur.[1] Lettering on the side of each car identifies it as a "self-driving car". The project was formerly led by Sebastian Thrun, former director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View. Thrun's team at Stanford created the robotic vehicle Stanley which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and its US$2 million prize from the United States Department of Defense.[2] The team developing the system consisted of 15 engineers working for Google, including Chris Urmson, Mike Montemerlo, and Anthony Levandowski who had worked on the DARPA Grand and Urban Challenges. Legislation has been passed in four U.S. states and Washington, D.C. allowing driverless cars. The state of Nevada passed a law on June 29, 2011, permitting the operation of autonomous cars in Nevada, after Google had been lobbying in that state for robotic car laws.The Nevada law went into effect on March 1, 2012, and the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles issued the first license for an autonomous car in May 2012, to a Toyota Prius modified with Google's experimental driverless technology. In April 2012, Florida became the second state to allow the testing of autonomous cars on public roads,and California became the third when Governor Jerry Brown signed the bill into law at Google HQ in Mountain View.[8] In December 2013, Michigan became the fourth state to allow testing of driverless cars on public roads.In July 2014, the city of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho adopted a robotics ordinance that includes provisions to allow for self-driving cars.

3. Introduction
The Google Driverless Car is like any car, but:
It can steer itself while looking out for obstacles.
It can accelerate itself to the correct speed limit.
It can stop and go itself based on any traffic condition.

4. The project is currently being
led by: Sebastian Thrun.
Director of the Stanford
Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory.
Co-inventor of Google
Street View.

5. Google Maps
Hardware Sensors with MICRO SOFT Controllers
LIDAR
VIDEO CAMERA
POSITION ESTIMATOR
DISTANCE SENSOR
Automotive Night Vision
Artificial Intelligence

6. Provides the car with road
information.
Google Maps interacts with
GPS and acts like a database.
Speed Limits.
Upcoming intersections.
Traffic Report.
Nearby collisions.
Directions.

7. Its further Components:
LIDAR
VIDEO CAMERA
POSITION ESTIMATOR
DISTANCE SENSOR

8. “Heart of the system“
LIDAR stands for Light Detection And
Ranging.
It can measure the distance to, or other
properties of a target by illuminating the
target with light.
Scanning distance of 60 meters (~197 feet).

10. Google Maps and the hardware sensors
Data& MICROSOFT controller are sent to the
AI.
AI then determines:
how fast to accelerate
when to slow down/stop
when to steer the wheel
Goal of AI
The agent's goal is to take the passenger to
its desired destination safely and legally.

11. LET'S SEE IT IN ACTION!
A look from the inside... A look from the outside...

12. As of 2012:
Nevada
1st state to allow
driverless vehicles can be
legally operated on public
roads.
6 Google Driverless Cars
5 Toyota Prius
1 Audi TT.
Total miles
140,000 miles with
occasional human
intervention.

13. Relief of vehicle
occupants from driving
and navigation chores.
Reduction in car theft, due
to the vehicle's self-
awareness.

14. The driverless car improves vehicle’s
stability helps to minimize the loss
of control.
Main aim is to minimize the road
accidents.
