This document discusses driverless cars. It describes how driver error is a major cause of accidents and how technology is improving to address this with cars that can steer, accelerate, and brake automatically using sensors, artificial intelligence, and Google Maps. It outlines the hardware and software components that allow cars to drive themselves, as well as some potential advantages like increased safety and road capacity, and disadvantages like hacking risks.

3.  Introduction
 What is Driverless Car ?
 History
 Component
 Action
 Technology
 Advantages
 Disadvantages
 Conclusion
 Reference

4.  Driver error is the most common cause of
Traffic Accidents.
 Cell phones in Car, entertainment system,
more traffic and more complicated road
systems making it more frequent.
 By this improving technology Google car will
do the concentrating us.

6.  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.

7.  The Project is currently being led by:
Sebastian Thrun
› Director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory
› 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge Winner
› Co-inventor of Google Street View

8. Integrates Google Maps with various hardware
sensors and artificial intelligence software
 Google Maps
 Hardware Sensors
 Artificial Intelligence

9.  Google Maps interacts with GPS & Acts like
a database.
› Speed Limits
› Upcoming Intersection
› Traffic Report
› Nearby collisions
› Directions

10.  The hardware sensors gives real time
environment properties.
 Environment is dynamic so need real time
results.
 Sensors attempt to create fully observable
environment.

11.  LIDAR
 VIDEO CAMERA
 POSITION ESTIMATOR
 DISTANCE SENSOR

13.  Google Maps and the hardware sensors
data are sent to the AI.
 The agent’s goal is take the passenger to its
desired destination safely and legally.

14.  A look from the inside…….

15.  A look from the outside…..

16.  Anti-lock brakes (ABS)
 Electronic stability control (ESC)
 Cruise Control
 Self Parking
 Automated Guided Vehicle Systems

18.  A computerized technology improves vehicle’s
stability by detecting & minimizing skids.
 Automatically applies the brakes.
 Helps to minimize a loss of control.
 ESC compares the driver’s intended direction to
the vehicle’s actual direction.

19.  Cruise control keeps the car at a constant
speed by taking over the throttle of the car
 It also maintain a set distance between it and
the car in front of it

22.  Managing traffic flow to increase read
capacity.
 Quick reaction time.
 To avoid accidents.
 Increasing roadway capacity by reducing the
distances between cars.
 The current location of vehicle can be
determine using GPS.

23.  Hackers can change the rout.
 In case of failure of main sensor and backup
sensors the vehicle can create a change of
accident.
 Expensive software.

24.  The driver less car’s technologies improves
vehicle's stability helps to minimize loss of
control.
 Driver less cars are designed to minimize
accidents by addressing the main causes of
collisions: driving error, distraction and
drowsiness.
