Sai teja madireddy gave a technical seminar on Google's driverless car at Audisanakra Institute of Technology. The presentation covered the history and development of Google's driverless car project, its key components including Google Maps, hardware sensors like LIDAR and video cameras, and artificial intelligence software. It was noted that Google's driverless cars have driven over 140,000 miles with only occasional human intervention required. The development of driverless car technology was concluded to help improve vehicle stability and safety by reducing human error in driving.

10. INTRODUCTION:
The Google Driverless Car is like any car, but:
 It can steer itself while looking out for obstacles.
 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.

11. HISTORY:
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

12. 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
COMPONENTS

13. GOOGLE MAP:
 Speed Limits.
 Upcoming
intersections.
 Traffic Report.
 Nearby collisions.
 Directions.
Google Maps interacts with GPS and acts like a database.

14. HARDWARE SENSORS:
 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

15. HARDWARE SENSORS:
 LIDAR
 VIDEO CAMERA
 POSITION ESTIMATOR
 DISTANCE SENSOR

17.  “Heart of our system“
 LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging, also LADAR) is an
optical remote sensing technology that can measure the
distance to, or other properties of a target by illuminating the
target with light, often using pulses from a laser.
 Scanning distance of 60 meters (~197 feet)

18. MAP OF THE SURROUNDINGS
No blind spot
e.g. pedestrian emerged from
between two parked cars

19.  VIDEO CAMERA
Detects upcoming traffic light.
 DISTANCE SENSOR
Allow the car to "see" far enough to detect nearby or
upcoming cars or obstacles
 POSITION ESTIMATOR(Wheel Encoder)
Determines vehicle's location and keeps track of its
movements.
VIDEO CAMERA
DISTANCE SENSORS
POSITION ESTIMATOR (WHEEL ENCODER)

20. 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
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

21. CURRENTLY.
As of 2014:
• Nevada
o 1st state to allow driverless
vehicles can be legally
operated on public roads
• 6 Google Driverless Cars
o 5 Toyota Prius
o 1 Audi TT
• Total miles
o 140,000 miles with
occasional human
intervention
CURRENTLY

22. CONCLUSION:CONCLUSION
•The driver less car’s technologies improves vehicle's
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 and drowsiness.
