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.

History

The project is currently being led by: Sebastian Thrun.

Director of the Stanford

Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Co-inventor of Google Street View.

ComponentsGoogle Maps

Hardware Sensors with MICRO SOFT

ControllersLIDAR

VIDEO CAMERA

POSITION ESTIMATOR

DISTANCE SENSOR

Automotive Night Vision

Artificial Intelligence

Google MapsProvides the car with road information.Google Maps interacts with GPS and acts like a database.

Speed Limits.

Upcoming

intersections.

Traffic Report.

Nearby collisions.

Directions.

Hardware Sensors with

software controllers

Its further Components:

LIDAR

VIDEO CAMERA

POSITION ESTIMATOR

DISTANCE SENSOR

LIDAR

“Heart of the system“

LIDAR stands for Light Detection

And Ranging.

It can measure the distance to, or

other properties of a target by

illuminating the target with light.

Scanning distance of 60 meters

(~197 feet).

Automotive Night Vision

Artificial IntelligenceGoogle Maps and the hardware

sensors Data& MICROSOFT controller are sent to the AI.

AI then determines:

how fast to acceleratewhen to slow down/stopwhen to steer the wheel

Goal of AI

The agent's goal is to take the passenger to its desired destination safely and legally.

LET'S SEE IT IN ACTION!

A look from the inside... A look from the outside...

Current Status

As of 2012:Nevada 1st state to allow

driverless vehicles can be legally operated on public roads.

6 Google Driverless Cars5 Toyota Prius1 Audi TT.

Total miles 140,000 miles with

occasional human intervention.

Advantages

Relief of vehicle occupants from driving and navigation chores.Reduction in car theft, due to the vehicle's self-awareness.

The driverless car improves vehicle’s stability helps to minimize the loss of control.

Main aim is to minimize the road accidents.
