4. INTRODUCTION
A driverless car are also called automated car or robotic
vehicle or self-driving car .
That is designed to travel between destinations without
a human interaction.
To qualify as fully autonomous, a vehicle must be able
to navigate without human intervention to a
predetermined destination over roads that have not
been adapted for its use.

6. COMPONENT USE
Google Maps
Provide the car road information
Sensor
Provide the car with real time environment condition
Artificial Intelligence
Provide the car with real time decision
Radar
is an object-detection system that uses radio waves to
determine the range, altitude, direction, or speed of
objects
7. Global Positioning System
GPS) is a space-based Satellite navigation system that
provides location and time information in all weather
conditions.
Lidar
is a remote sensing technology that measures distance
by illuminating a target with a laser and analyzing the
reflected light.
8. Google Map
Google map interact witch GPS and act like database
Speed limits
Upcoming intersection.
Traffic Report.
Nearby collisions.
Directions.

The “driver” sets a destination. The car’s software calculates a route
and starts the car on its way.
A rotating, roof-mounted LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging - a
technology similar to radar) sensor monitors a 60-meter range around
the car and creates a dynamic 3D map of the car’s current environment.
A sensor on the left rear wheel monitors sideways movement to detect
the car’s position relative to the 3-D map.
Radar systems in the front and rear bumpers calculate distances to
obstacles.
Artificial intelligence (AI) software in the car is connected to all
the sensors and has input from Google Street View and video
cameras inside the car.
The AI simulates human perceptual and decision-making processes and
controls actions in driver-control systems such as steering and brakes.
The car’s software consults Google Maps for advance notice of things
like landmarks and traffic signals and lights.
10. Companies Name
Companies developing and/or testing cars include.
Audi
BMW
Ford
Google
General Motors
Volkswagen
Volvo
11. BANIFITS
The would eliminate accidents caused by driver error
The greater precision of an automatic system could
improve traffic flow.
Dramatically increase highway capacity and reduce
or eliminate traffic jams.
Finally, the systems would allow commuters to do
other things while traveling, such as working, reading
or sleeping.
