3. INTODUCTION
• It can accelerate itself to the correct speed limit
• It can stop and go itself based on any traffic condition
• Autonomous car is an automated or autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the main transportation
capabilities of traditional car without human input
• By this improving technology our car will do the
concentrating for us.
4. • Experimentation started in 1920s;
• The first truly autonomous cars appeared in
the 1980s, with Carnegie Mellon University’s
Navlab and ALV projects in 1984.
• DARPA (Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency) Grand Challenge 2005
fueled the development and research.
• Google has done notable work in this field
for past few years.
HISTROY
5. Definition
It is a vehicle that can drive itself from one point to another without
assistance from a driver; in other words, with an autopilot system
6. Advantages
• Hospitals will need fewer emergency rooms and orthopaedic wards as the rate of
road traffic accidents is dramatically reduced.
• Hotels will lose business as tourists and businessmen sleep overnight in their
travelling vehicles.
• Taxi and car-rental businesses might merge into one automated pick-up and drop-
off service.
• Much less need for motor insurers and brokers.
• A boon for country pubs no longer affected by drink-drive laws.
• Less demand for road signs, traffic light, signals and guard rails.
• Less need for traffic police and traffic wardens
Avoid accidents
•Manage traffic Flow.
•Increasing Roadway capacity.
7. DISADVANTAGES
• If the vehicle is using internet which is have less security then From the hackers point of view
in some cases the vehicle can be switched off on the road(in rare cases
• Hackers can change the rout which is plotted in the system(in rare case
• In case of failure of main sensor and backup sensors the vehicle can create a
chance of accident
8. 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
• RADAR DETECTORS
• Anti lock brakes
• Autonomous cruise control
9. GOOGLE MAP
• Google Maps interacts with GPS
• and acts like a database
• Speed Limits
• Upcoming intersections
• Traffic Report
• Nearby collisions
• Directions
10. HARDWARE SENSORS
• Sensors attempt to create fully
observable environment
• The hardware sensors gives real
time environmental properties
• Its further Components
1. LIDAR
2. VIDEO CAMERA
3. POSITION ESTIMATOR
4. DISTANCE SENSOR
12. LIDAR
“Heart of the system“
• LIDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging
• It is an optical remote sensing technology
• 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)
16. AUTOMOTIVE NIGHT VISION
•Increases vehicle driver’s perception and seeing distance
in darkness and poor weather conditions.
•Even those distances which are beyond the reach of
vehicle’s headlight
17. ARITIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Google Maps and the hardware sensors data 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
18. RADAR DETECTORS
• There are usually RADAR detectors
provides various functions like Lanechange
assistance, blind spot
detection, side impact warning, crosstraffic
alert, and adaptive cruise
control.
• The radar detectors are usually
mounted on both ends of the car.
• 3 detectors in front of the car, 1
detector on rear end.
19. ANTI-LOCK BRAKES
• While braking hard without anti-lock brakes, the wheels can lock up, sending the car into an out-
of-control skid. and the driver has to pump the brake pedal to keep the wheels from locking up
• With anti-lock brakes, the system does the pumping for the driver - and
does it better than the driver. The system can read the wheels and knows
when they are about to lock and react faster

21. AUTOMATED GUIDED VEHICLE
SYSTEM
• Uses FROG (Free Ranging
On Grid) technology
• FROG vehicles are equipped
with a computer that contains
a map of the area
22. MOTION PLANNING
• is a term used in robotics for the process of
detailing a task into discrete motions.
• It should execute this task while avoiding objects
like other car
23. Autonomous cruise control
• Autonomous cruise control is an optional cruise control system appearing on some more upscale
vehicles. These systems use either a radaror lasersetup allowing the vehicle to slow when
approaching another vehicle and accelerate again to the preset speed when traffic allows
• It also maintain a set distance between it and the car
in front of it
• Cruise control keeps the car at a constant speed
24. CONTROL OF VEHICLE
• As automotive technology matures, more and more functions of the underlying
engine, gearbox etc. are no longer directly controlled by the driver by
mechanical means.
• It is controlled via a computer, which receives instructions from the driver as
inputs and delivers the desired effect by means of electronic throttle control.
• Therefore, the technology for a computer to control all aspects of a vehicle is
well understood.
25. DARPA Grand Challenge (2007)
It is a prize competition
for driverless vehicles,
funded by the
(Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency),
the most prominent research
organization of the
United States Department of Defense.
26. THE PURPOSE OF DARPA URBAN
CHALLENGE
• Saving lives on the battlefield
(by sending unmanned vehicles).
• Minimize the probability
of accidents in cities.
27. TARTAN RACING TEAM
• The course involved a 96 km
to be completed in less than 6 hours
• Rules included obeying all traffic regulations while
negotiating with other traffic and obstacles and
merging into traffic.
