3. Waymo
• Waymo is an autonomous car development
company and subsidiary of Google's parent
company.
• Type :Subsidiary
• Industry : Autonomous cars
• Google had begun testing the self-driving car
project in 2009.
• Alphabet describes Waymo as "a self-driving tech
company with a mission to make it safe and easy
for people and things to move around".

4. History
• Sebastian Thrun invented the Google
driverless car.
• prevent traffic accidents, free up people’s
time and reduce carbon emission by
fundamentally changing car use”-Sebastian
Thrun.
• The Google Driverless car was tested in the
year 2010.

5. History
DATE DESCRIPTION
Current (2015) The project is currently being led by Google engineer Sebastian
Thrun, director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View.
Past (2005) Thrun's team created the robotic vehicle Stanley which won the
2005 DARPA Grand Challenge and its US$2 million prize from
the United States DOD (Department of Defense).
2011 U.S. state of Nevada passed a law on June 29, 2011.
2012
2012 It went into effect on March 1, 2012, and the Nevada Department
of Motor Vehicles issued the first license for a self-driven car in
May 2012.
2012 The license was issued to a Toyota Prius.

6. Components
Google Maps
Provides the car with road information
Hardware Sensors
Provides the car with real time environment
conditions
Artificial Intelligence
Provides the car with real time decisions

7. Google Maps
 Google Maps interacts with GPS and acts like a
database.
 Speed Limits.
 Upcoming intersections.
 Traffic Report.
 Nearby collisions.
 Directions.

8. Hardware sensors
 Sensors attempt to create fully observable
environment
 The hardware sensors gives real time environmental
properties.
 Its further Components:
• LIDAR
• VIDEO CAMERA
• POSITION ESTIMATOR
• DISTANCE SENSOR

10. LIDAR SENSOR
• “The heart of the system”
• The LIDAR (Light detection
and Ranging) sensor is a scanner.
• scanner contains 64 lasers that are send to
surroundings of the car through the air.

11. RADAR SENSOR
• Three RADAR sensors are fixed in front of the
bumper and one in the rear bumper.
• measures the distance to various obstacles
and allow the system to reduce the speed of
the car
• The back side of sensor will locate the position
of the car on the map.

12. VIDEO CAMERA
• video camera is fixed near the rear view
mirror.
• detects traffic lights and any moving objects in
front of the car.
• done by the artificial intelligence software.

13. POSITION ESTIMATOR
• A sensor mounted on the left rear
wheel.
• measures small movements made by
the car and helps to accurately
locate its position on the map.
• The position of the car can be seen
on the monitor.

14. TECHNOLOGY

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

18. ADVANTAGES
• Avoid accidents.
• Current location can be easily identified by
GPS.
• Manage traffic Flow.
• Increasing Roadway capacity.

19. DISADVANTAGES
• If the user is using internet with less security then it
can be caught by the hackers.
• Hackers can turn system on or off
• Hackers can change the route.
• In case of failure in main senor and backup sensor
the vehicle can create chances of accidents

21. Future scope
• Demand is higher.
• Automated driving means more people can
use cars, and more cars can be fitted safely on
roads.
• They are designed to be more like shared
vehicles, possibly within a family or more
likely as a replacement for taxis.
• Vehicles could be ready for market in as little
as three to five years.

22. Thank you…
