Introducing the
Google Driverless
Car
HistoryHistory
 The project is currently
being led by Google engineer
Sebastian Thrun.
 Director of the Stanford
Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory.
 Won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge.
 Co-inventor of Google Street View.
What is Google Driverless Car ?What is Google Driverless Car ?
 What?
◦ The Google Self-Driving Car is a project by Google that involves
developing technology for autonomous cars, mainly electric cars. The
software powering Google's cars is called Google Chauffeur.
 When?
◦ Informally since 2005
◦ From 2010, by a formal team of 15 engineers from Google
 Progress so far?
◦ Google currently lobbying for driverless car laws in more states in the
US
◦ Nevada as the 1st
state having passed such law in mid-2011 (operation
of driverless cars)
◦ Florida and California as the 2nd
and 3rd
state in early and late 2012.
Which type of Technology is usedWhich type of Technology is used
1.Lidar is a remote sensing
technology
2. Velodyne range finder mounted
on the top .
3.Scanner/Rotating Sensor
4.Video Camera
Google's robotic cars have equipment including :
Devices involvedDevices involved
Laser sensor on the roof
(1.5 million
measurements per
second)
Radar sensor in front
and rear bumpers
GPS
Settings of driving personalities
Self-learning Program HD camera looking out and inward
from the windshield
Constant mappingConstant mapping
Effective and efficient parkingEffective and efficient parking
Use of sensor
◦ Measuring parking space available
◦ Determining if there is sufficient space
◦ Steering itself into the space
◦ In essence, automatic search for suitable parking space within designated
area, and then execution

ADVANTAGESADVANTAGES
• Safer
•More efficient
•Fewer accidents
•Follow traffic laws
DISADVANTAGES:DISADVANTAGES:
• Liability
• Loss of jobs
• Reliance on up to date
technology
• Costly
• Timeframe
ChallengesChallenges
Cost Issue
Total cost: US$ 300,000
includes:
•Laser system - $ 70,000
•Hi-tech Equipment - $ 150,000
•Impacts on public
transport industry
•Technology & Privacy Issues
FUTURE IMPLICATIONFUTURE IMPLICATION
Short Term
- Difficult to make this innovation profitable as the
technology requires expensive sensors, computing
power and software.
Long Term
- Demand is higher. Automated driving means more
people can use cars, and more cars can be fitted
safely on roads.
Conclusion
Conclusion, upon addressing the mechanics of the
driverless car as well as its benefits and potential issues, it
is quite interesting to see how the world will actually
become by the year 2040.
Very Useful
Driverless cars are designed to minimized the road
accidents.

Editor's Notes

  • #11 different driving personalities — from cautious, in which it is more likely to yield to another car, to aggressive, where it is more likely to go first
