The document discusses driverless cars, including their history and components. Driverless cars can steer, accelerate, and brake autonomously using sensors like LIDAR and cameras, as well as maps and artificial intelligence software. They are being developed to reduce accidents caused by human error and increase road safety. The technology is still being tested but could be available commercially in the next few years.

 Conclusion

3. INTRODUCTION-

4.  It is the project by google that involves
developing technology for the driverless car
 This project Led by Google engineer Sebastian
thrun who is director of stanford artificial
intelligence & co-inventor of google street view

5. HISTORY-
First driverless car by
general motors in newyork
 First driverless car
proposed by general
motors in 1939
 In 1925 haudina lab
discovered radio
controlled driverless
car

6. What is Driverless car ?
 it is a vehicle that can drive itself from one
point to another point without driver , in
other words car with an autopilot system.
 Can steer itself.
 Can accelerate itself.
 Can go &stop itself.

7. Google launched driverless car in 2015

8. Reason behind the making ?
 Driver error is the most common cause of road
accident
 Nearly 1.25 million people die in road accident each
year, that is one person is killed every 25 second
 Using cell phone during driving, drink &drive
,entertainment system are the reason for the road
accident
 So, to solve this all problem driverless car is useful
for us and this is a reason behind making it.

9. How it work ?
 It is controlled by
computer
 It require input or
instruction from
human
 After giving input or
instruction it will
drive automatically.

10. Components-
 Google map
 Hardware sensors
 Arrtificial intelligence software

11. Google maps –
 Google maps interacts with GPS & acts like
data base
 Speed limits
 Upcoming obstacles
 Traffic report
 Directions
 Nearby collisions

12. Artificial intelligence –
 Determines-
1)How to accelerate ?
2)When to slow down /stop
3)when to steer the wheel
*Goal-
Take the passenger to the
destination safely

13. Sensors used -
1)LIDAR
2)Video camera
3)Position estimator
4)Distance sensors

14. LIDAR- ‘Eyes’ of Google car
 It is a heart of system
 Light detection and ranging
 Optical remote sensing technology
 Scanning distance of 60 meters
 Road line markers and stop line with an
accuracy of 2 inches

15. Video camera-
 Mounted near rearview mirror to detect
road signs and traffic lights , speed limits
 It also has computer on the board of vehicle
to recognise obstacles such as
cyclist,&pedistrian

17. Currently-
 6 Google driverless cars manufactured
1) 5 Toyota prius
2) 1 AUDI
#NEVADA –
*first state to allow driverless vehicle
can be legally operated on public roads

18. Advanteges-
 Reduce road accident
 Reduced journey time
 Elimination of driving licenses
 Auotomatic parking
 Environment friendly

19. Conclusion -
 Very useful
 Pollution free
 Echo friendly
 Will be available in india in 2020
