This document discusses self-driving or autonomous vehicles. It provides an introduction to autonomous cars and their ability to sense surroundings using sensors and computer vision. The document outlines some of the technologies used in autonomous vehicles, including radar, lidar, GPS, cameras, ultrasonic sensors and more. It describes how components like ABS, electronic stability control, adaptive high beams, night vision and parking sensors contribute to autonomous functionality. The document discusses advantages such as reduced accidents and improved mobility for disabled/elderly, as well as disadvantages including job loss and hacking risks. It concludes that autonomous vehicles could significantly reduce traffic and avoid accidents by 2020.

4. INTRODUCTION
• Self driving cars are also known as autonomous car,
driverless car, unscrewed vehicle or robotic car.
• Autonomous vehicles sense their surroundings with
techniques such as radar, lidar, GPS, cameras, ultrasonic
sensors, laser sensors and computer vision.

5. HISTORIC EVENTS
• First “Auto-piloting” of an airplane was occurred in 1914.
• Ships have been using “Self-steering gear” from 1950s.

8. What
Technologies
are
used?

9. Technologies
• Anti-lock brakes(ABS)
• Electronic stability control (ESC)
• Lane Departure Warning System
• Cruise control
• Self Parking
• RADAR & LIDAR
• GPS & Night Vision
• Ultrasonic Sensors
• Cameras

10. Components
 Wheel-speed sensors
 Steering-angle sensors
 Rotational-speed sensor

11. Anti-lock brakes System (ABS)
• An ABS generally offers improved vehicle control and
decreases stopping distances on dry and slippery surfaces
for many drivers.

12. Automatic Braking
• Senses an imminent
distance with another
vehicle or a velocity
related danger.
• Responds by either
precharging the brakes or
by applying the brakes to
slow the vehicle without
any driver input.
• Detects by radar, video,
infrared, ultrasonic, GPS
sensors.
• Introduced by Toyota.

13. Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
• A computerized technology
improves vehicle's stability
by detecting and
minimizing skids.
• Automatically applies the
brakes.
• Helps to minimize a loss of
control.
• ESC compares the driver's
intended direction to the
vehicle's actual direction

14. Electronic Stability Control

15. Adaptive Highbeam
• Automatically and
continuously adapts the
headlamp range to the
distance of vehicles ahead
or which are oncoming.
• New generation Mercedes-
Benz e-class in spring
2009.

16. Automotive Night Vision
• Increases a vehicle driver's perception and seeing distance
in darkness or poor weather beyond the reach of the
vehicle's headlights.

17. Lane Departure Warning System
• A mechanism designed to
warn a driver when the
vehicle begins to move out
of its lane
• Designed to minimize
accidents by addressing
the main causes of
collisions: driving error,
distraction and
drowsiness.

18. Cruise control
• Cruise control keeps the car at a constant speed by taking
over the throttle of the car
• It also maintain a set distance between it and the car in
front of it

19. Autonomous Cruise Control
• Uses either a radar setup
allowing the vehicle to
slow when approaching
another vehicle and
accelerate again to the
preset speed when traffic
allows

20. Backup Camera & Parking Sensors
• Special type of video camera attached to the rear of a
vehicle to aid in backing up.
• Parking sensors are proximity detectors which can alert
the driver to unseen obstacles during parking.

21. Self-parking Cars
• System uses sensors all around the car to guide it into a
parallel parking space
• The driver has to find a parking space,
• Position the car next to it, and use the in-cabin navigation
screen to tell the car where it should go.
• The parking space needs to be 6 feet (1.8 meters) longer
than the car.

22. How
it
works?

Ultrasonic Sensors Laser Scanners

25. Advantages
• POLICE: Reduction in the need for traffic police and vehicle
insurance.
• SIGNS: Reduction of physical road signage.
• CHILDREN & TEENAGERS : Smoother ride.
• Reduction in car theft, due to the vehicle's self-awareness.
• DISABLED: Enjoy improved mobility with on-call, door-to-door
service in specialized vehicles.
• ELDERLY: No longer dependent on driving, aging will have
little to no effect on transportation and independence.
• ADULTS: Safely use phones, laptops and tablets. Some will get
jump-start on the work, others will socialize or enjoy a video.
• ACCIDENTS: No any accidents, car crashes.

26. Disadvantages
• Loss of driving-related jobs.
• Loss of privacy.
• Competition for the radio spectrum desired for the car's
communication.
• Hackers can change the rout which is plotted in the system.
• Self-driving cars could potentially be loaded with explosives
and used as bombs.
• Drivers being inexperienced if situations arose requiring
manual driving.
• Software reliability & Liability for damage.

27. The most effective gain of this system will be
control on traffic congestions and avoiding
accidents.
So the time is not far ‘2020’ when we are
going to have our self controlled vehicles and
we say “THE FUTURE OF AUTOMOBILES IS
HERE”.
