Conclusion
3. OVERVIEW
WHAT IS DRIVERLESS CAR?
Vehicle that can drive itself from one point to another
without assistance from a driver
Automated guided vehicle (AGV)
Autopilot
Driverless
5. BENEFIT :
To experience efficient driving
To facilitate mobility to handicapped/the elderly
people
To manage traffic flow
To reduce accidents due to human error
7. COMPONENTS
HARDWARE SENSORS
LIDAR
Video camera
Position estimator
Infrared head lamps
Electronic stability control (ESC)
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
GPS Technology
Manual backup system
Lane keeping assist system
Traffic report
Cruise control system
11. GOOGLE DRIVERLESS CAR PROJECTS
•Initiated informally since 2009 and
formally since 2010, by a team of 15
engineers from Google
•Project Head : Sebastian Thrun
(Co-inventor of Google Street view)
•Technology used :
Google map
Hardware sensors
Artificial intelligence
Anti-lock brakes (ABS)
Automated guided vehicle systems
Self parking
13. What a city with driverless car might look like:
14. Negative aspects
Credibility concern
Cyber security
Ethical problems
Inability to cope with extra conditions
Poor road infrastructure
Loss of jobs
Cost issue:
Total cost : US $300,000
15. Future of autonomous cars:
YEAR Availability of self driving car
2016 Tesla “autopilot”
2018 Tesla, Google, Nutonomy
2020 Volkswagen, Honda, Hyundai,
Toyota, Google, Volvo, BMW
•Companies developing and/or testing cars include:
Audi BMW Ford Google General Motors Volkswagen Volvo
17. CONCLUSION
Driverless car are designed to minimize accidents by
addressing main cause of collision: driving error,
distraction and drowsiness
Their adoption will take decades but these vehicles are
coming - and fast
This would affect the job market
-Many people are employed driving vehicles
-More people will be needed for the manufacturing,
design and programming of self driving vehicles.
