An autonomous car is a vehicle capable of sensing its environment and operating without human involvement. A human passenger is not required to take control of the vehicle at any time, nor is a human passenger required to be present in the vehicle at all. An autonomous car can go anywhere traditional cargoes and do everything that an experienced human driver does.
The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) currently defines 6 levels of driving automation ranging from Level 0 (fully manual) to Level 5 (fully autonomous). These levels have been adopted by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Autonomous vs. Automated vs. Self-Driving: What’s the difference?
The SAE uses the term automated instead of autonomous. One reason is that the word autonomy has implications beyond the electromechanical. A fully autonomous car would be self-aware and capable of making its own choices. For example, you say “drive me to work” but the car decides to take you to the beach instead. A fully automated car, however, would follow orders and then drive itself.
The term self-driving is often used interchangeably with autonomy. However, it’s a slightly different thing. A self-driving car can drive itself in some or even all situations, but a human passenger must always be present and ready to take control. Self-driving cars would fall under Level 3 (conditional driving automation) or Level 4 (high driving automation). They are subject to geofencing, unlike a fully autonomous Level 5 car that could go anywhere.
- People would have more free time that is currently spent driving that could be used for work or leisure activities like reading, socializing, or entertainment.
- Transportation services utilizing self-driving cars could become more accessible for those unable to drive such as the elderly or disabled.
- New types of businesses may emerge catering to passengers in self-driving cars such as mobile offices, restaurants, or shops.
- People would have more free time that could be spent working, relaxing, or socializing while in transit instead of focusing on driving.
- Public transportation usage may increase as self-driving cars could provide convenient door-to-door mobility.
- New types of businesses catering to passengers in self-driving vehicles may emerge, such as mobile offices or entertainment venues.
From the invention of the car there is a great relation between human and car.

3. The Google Driverless Car is like any car, but it can steer
itself while looking out for obstacles.
It can stop and go itself based on any traffic condition.
It is a combination of different technologies developed by
Google
That will allow a car to drive itself even on the highway
Introduction
4. 4
The project is currently being led by:
Sebastian Thrun
• Director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory
• 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge Winner
• Co-inventor of Google Street View
Mind Behind
5. 2/3/2020Google Driverless Car 5
• Uses Google map, sensors, artificial
intelligence
• Lidar produced detailed map of the
environment
• Car uses white stripes on road to know lanes
• 360 degree motion sensor and cameras to
sense
• Control of the car still exist
• Sensors pushing data into main computer to
process information
6. 6
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
Components
7. Google Map
7
Google Maps interacts with GPS and acts like a
database.
• Speed Limits
• Upcoming intersections
• Traffic Report.
• Nearby collisions
• Directions
8. • The hardware sensors gives real time
environmental properties.
• Environment is dynamic so need real time results.
• Sensors attempt to create fully observable environment.
Hardware Sensors
11. LIDAR
• “Heart of our system“
• LIDAR is an optical remote sensing
technology
• Measure the distance to, or other properties
of a target
• It often using pulses from a laser.
• Scanning distance of 60 meters (~197 feet)
12. Distance Sensor
• Detects upcoming traffic light
• Recognizing moving obstacles like
pedestrians and vehicles
Video Camera
• Allow the car to "see" far enough to detect
nearby or upcoming cars or obstacles
• It also contain radar
• Object returns a tiny part of the wave’s
energy to a dish
• Radar system has a transmitter that emits
radio waves called radar signal
• Doppler effect
13. Position Estimator (wheel
encoder)
• Determines vehicle's location and keeps track of its
movements
• GPS is a space based satellite navigation system
that provide location and time information
• It is maintained by the US government
• It freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver
14. Artificial Intelligence
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
15. Working
• The motors are first have to be installed
• Apply pressure to both accelerator, brake
pedals and turn the wheels
• Motor receiving instructions from computer
• Lidar used to detect objects and distance
• video cameras detect traffic light
• Control of the car would still exist
17. Advantages
• Improved fuel efficiency
• It will be of great help to people who are
physically challenged
• Higher speed limit for autonomous cars
• Reduction of space required for vehicle
parking.
• Fewer traffic collision
18. Disadvantages
• So many taxi drivers can lose their jobs
• It steals driving pleasure from drivers who
love it
• It requires that the road are in good
condition and follows a strict traffic system
19. Conclusion
• Very useful .
• Avoid accidents on the road
• Reduce the traffic time at traffic signal
• So many taxi drivers can loss their job
