This document discusses Google's driverless car project. It provides an introduction to driverless cars and explains that they can drive themselves from one point to another without human assistance. The document then discusses the history of Google's project, which was started in 2009 and is led by Sebastian Thrun. It describes the key components of driverless cars, including Google Maps, hardware sensors, and artificial intelligence software. The advantages and disadvantages of driverless cars are also summarized.

4. INTRODUCTION:
What is a Google driverless car ?
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.

 The Google Driverless Car is like any car, but:
 It can steer itself .
 It can accelerate itself to the correct speed limit.
 It can stop and go itself based on any traffic condition.
 It can take its passengers anywhere it wants to
go safely, legally, and comfortably.

HISTORY:
Google's self-driving car project was started in 2009.
The project is currently being led by:
Sebastian Thrun.
 Director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory.
 Co-inventor of Google Street View.

7. Google Driverless Car
COMPONENTS:
Integrates Google Maps with various hardware sensors and
artificial intelligence software.
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.

8. GOOGLEMAP:
Google Driverless Car
 Speed Limits.
 Upcoming intersections.
 Traffic Report.
 Nearby collisions.
 Directions.
Google Maps interacts with GPS and acts like a
database.

9. HARDWARE SENSORS:
 The hardware sensors give real time environmental properties.
 Environment is dynamic so need real time results.
 Sensors attempt to create fully observable environment.

ARTIFICIALINTELLIGENCE:
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.

Advantages
Managing traffic flow to increase road capacity.
To avoid accidents .
Increasing roadway capacity by reducing the distances between cars.
The current location of vehicle can be determine using global positioning system

Disadvantages
If the vehicle is using internet which has less security 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 cases).
In case of failure of main sensor and backup sensors the
vehicle can create a chance of accident.

LIDAR
 “Heart of the system“
 LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is an optical remote
sensing technology that can measure the distance.
 Scanning distance of 60 meters (~197 feet).
VIDEO CAMERA
 Mounted near the rear-view mirror, the camera detects
traffic light and any objects.

DISTANCESENSOR
 Four radars, three in front bumper and one in the rear bumper,
measure distances to various obstacles and allow the system to
reduce the speed of the car.
POSITION ESTIMATOR(Wheel Encoder)
A sensor mounted on the left rear wheel measures lateral
movements and determines the car's position on the map.

Conclusion
The driver less car’s technologies improves vehicle's stability and 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.
It will follow the traffic rules and regulations.
