An autopilot is a system used to control the trajectory of an aircraft, marine craft or spacecraft without requiring constant manual control by a human operator. Autopilots do not replace human operators. Instead, the autopilot assists the operator's control of the vehicle, allowing the operator to focus on broader aspects of operations (for example, monitoring the trajectory, weather and on-board systems)

2.  Vehicular automation involves the
use of
Mechatronics
Artificial Intelligence
Multi-agent System
to assist a vehicle's operator.
These features and the vehicles
employing them may be labeled as
intelligent or smart.
A vehicle using automation for
difficult tasks, especially navigation,
may be referred to as semi-
autonomous.
Vehicular Automation

3. An autonomous car is an autonomous vehicle
capable of fulfilling the human transportation
capabilities of a traditional car.
As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of sensing
its environment and navigating without human
input.
Introduction

4.  RADAR
 Optics
 LIDAR
 GPS
 Processors
 Wheel Speed Sensors
Vehicle Hardware

6. Traditional RADAR sensors are used to
detect dangerous objects in the vehicle’s
path that are more than 100 meters away.
Accident-Prevention systems trigger
alerts when they detect something in a
blind car’s blind spot.
The radar chirps between10 and 11 GHz
over a 5 milli-second period, transmitting
the radar signal from a centrally located
antenna cone.
Two receive cones, separated by
approximately 14 inches, receive the
reflected radar energy.
RADAR

7. A camera mounted near the
rear-view mirror build a real-
time 3D images of the road
ahead, spotting hazards like
pedestrians and animals.
It is also used to identify
road markings and traffic
signals.
Optics

8. LIDAR

9. A Global Positioning System
keeps the car on its intended
route with an accuracy of 30
centimeters.
With GPS covering the macro
location of car, smaller on-deck
cameras can recognize smaller
details like red lights, stop
signs and construction zones.
GPS

10. Processors
Some 7 dual-core 2.13 GHz processors and 2Gb of
RAM are needed to make sense of the data collected
by the car’s instruments.
Some car run as many as 17 processors to dispense
the computing load.

11. Wheel Speed Sensors
measure the road-wheel
speed and direction of
rotation.
These sensors provide
input to a number of
different automotive
systems including the anti-
lock brake system and
electronic stability control.
Wheel Speed Sensors

12. The signal from the sensors are used by the Electronic
Control Unit for decision making using a software code.
Based on the information from the sensors, the Electronic
Control Unit gives signal to the actuators, which in turn
control the vehicle.
Also, real time information of the surroundings is output to
the user interface located inside the vehicle.
Working

16. Managing traffic flow to increase road capacity.
Relieving vehicle occupants from driving allowing them to
concentrate on other tasks or to rest during their journeys.
To avoided accidents.
Increasing roadway capacity by reducing the distances
between cars.
The current location of vehicle can be determine
using global positioning system(G.P.S).
Advantages

17. 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 route which is plotted in
the system(in rare cases).
In case of failure of main sensor and backup sensors
Disadvantages
