5.  Introduction
 Google self-driving car is a project by google that
involves developing technology for mainly electric cars.
 The software installed in Google's cars is called Google
Chauffeur.
 The project was formerly led by Sebastian Thrun,
former director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View
 Google plans to make these cars available to the
public in 2020.

6.  Technology
 The project team has equipped a number of different
types of cars with the self-driving equipment, including
the Toyota, Audi TT, and Lexus RX450h, Google has
also developed their own custom vehicle, which is
assembled by Roush Enterprises and uses equipment
from Bosch, LG.
 Google's robotic cars have about $150,000 in
equipment including a $70,000 LIDAR system.

7.  Laser allows the vehicle to generate a detailed 3D map
of its environment.
 The car then takes these generated maps and
combines them with high-resolution maps of the world.
 As of June 2014, the system works with a very high
definition inch-precision map of the area the vehicle is
expected to use.

8.  What is it?
 It is the first truly driverless electric car prototype built by
Google to test the next stage of its five-year-old self-
driving car project.
 It looks like a cross between a Smart car and a Nissan
Micra, with two seats and room enough for a small
amount of luggage.
 It is the first real physical incarnation of Google’s vision
of what a self-driving car of the near future could be.

9.  How does it work?
 Powered by an electric motor with around a 100
mile range, the car uses a combination of sensors
and software to locate itself in the real world
combined with highly accurate digital maps.
 A GPS is used, just like the satellite navigation
systems in most cars, to get a rough location of the
car, at which point radar, lasers and cameras take
over to monitor the world around the car, 360-
degrees.

10.  The software can recognise objects, people, cars,
road marking, signs and traffic lights, obeying the
rules of the road and allowing for multiple
unpredictable hazards, including cyclists. It can
even detect road works and safely navigate around
them

11.  Equipment Used
 Lidar System
 Video Cameras
 Radar Sensors
 Ultrasonic Sensors
 Central Computer

12.  Lidar
• The Liadar Sensors is
designed for obstacle
detection and navigation
of autonomous ground
vehicles.

13.  Video Cameras
 Different types
of cameras are
installed at various
locations.

14.  Radar Sensors
• The radars are installed at
front and back side of the
car.

15.  Ultrasonic
Sensors
• It is use to measure the
position of object very close to
the vehicles, such as other
vehicles when parking.

16.  Central Computer
• Information from all the Sensors is analysed by a
central computer.
• It manipulates the steering, accelerators and
brakes.

18.  Advantages
 Managing traffic flow.
 Relieving Vehicles.
 Avoid accidents.
 Increase roadway capacity.
 Determine current location.

19.  Limitations
 Vehicles can be switched off on the road (in rare
cases).
 Less security when using Internet.
 Hackers can be change routes (in rare cases).
 In case of failure of Sensors vehicle can created a
chance of accidents.
 In rainfall car cannot be recognised traffic signals.
