Driverless cars use sensors, GPS, and artificial intelligence to navigate roadways without human input. They are being developed to reduce accidents caused by human error and increase road capacity. Companies like Google, GM, and Volkswagen are testing self-driving vehicles that use lidar, radar and cameras to map their environment and drive autonomously. While driverless cars promise benefits like reduced traffic and increased productivity, challenges remain regarding cost, security, ability to handle all road conditions, and potential job disruption.

3.  A driverless car are also called automated car or robotic
vehicle or self-driving car .
 That is designed to travel between destinations without a
human interaction.
 Driver error is the most common cause of traffic accidents.
 India contributes 6 % of the world's road accident deaths
 Cell phones in-car entertainment systems, more traffic and
more complicated road systems making it more frequent.
 Drowsiness of the driver and failure in taking sudden
decisions adds up to the factors .
 The fully autonomous cars posses the technology which
drives it the safest way possible and have been proved
successful in this context till now .

4.  The project is currently being led

Intelligence Laboratory

Winner
 Co-Inventor of Google Street
view

5. Google Maps
 Sensor
Artificial Intelligence

6. Radar
Global Positioning System (GPS)
Lidar

7.  The “driver” sets a destination. The car’s software
calculates a route and starts the car on its way.
 A rotating, roof-mounted LIDAR (Light Detection and
Ranging - a technology similar to radar) sensor monitors a
60-meter range around the car and creates a
dynamic 3D map of the car’s current environment.
 Radar systems in the front and rear bumpers calculate
distances to obstacles.
 Artificial intelligence (AI) software in the car is connected
to all the sensors and has input from Google Street View
and video cameras inside the car.
 The car’s software consults Google Maps for advance
notice of things like landmarks and traffic signals and lights.

9. Companies developing and/or testing cars include:
 Audi
 BMW
 Ford
 Google
 General Motors
 Volkswagen
 Volvo

10.  It would eliminate accidents
 Increasing roadway capacity
 The current location of vehicle can be
determined using global positioning
system (G.P.S) .
 Reduces or eliminates traffic jams.
 Finally, the systems would allow us to do
other things while traveling, such as
working, reading or sleeping.

11.  Expensive – The cost of car is high
 No Privacy- If we are using internet which have less security then from the
hackers point of view some cases vehicle can be switched of an the road (rare
cases)
 It cannot handle heavy rain and snow-covered roads
 The vehicles are unable to recognize temporary traffic signals
 They are also unable to navigate through parking lots
 By coming Google driverless car into the market so many taxi drivers can lose
their jobs
 It steals Driving pleasure from drivers who love it

12.  The driver less car’s technologies improves vehicles
stability helps to minimize loss of control.
 Driver less cars are designed to minimize accidents by
addressing the main causes of collisions:
 Driving error
 Distraction
 Drowsiness
