AUTONOMOUS CAR
• An Autonomous car is an
Autonomous Vehicle
capable of fulfilling the
human transportation
capabilities of a traditional
car.
• As an Autonomous Vehicle,
it is capable of sensing its
environment and navigating
without human input.
Historical Background
1980s
• laser radar, computer vision and autonomous robotic
control
• Off-road map and sensor-based autonomous navigation
1990s
• Extensive systems engineering work and research
• Video cameras on board and use of stereoscopic vision
algorithms
2000s
• Real-Time Control System
• RFID-tags
2010s
• Artificial Intelligence
• GPS, LIDAR, 3D mapping, cameras, Sensors, etc.
TECHNOLOGY
• Vehicular automation involves the use of
Mechatronics
Artificial Intelligence
Multi-agent System
to assist a vehicle's operator.
• These features and the vehicles employing them may be
labeled as Intelligent or Smart.
• A vehicle using automation for difficult tasks, especially
navigation, may be referred to as semi-autonomous.
Hardware
Description
• RADAR
• OPTICS
• LIDAR
• GPS
• Processors
• Wheel Speed Sensors
RADAR
• Traditional RADAR sensors are
used to detect dangerous objects in
the vehicle’s path that are more
than 100 meters away.
• Accident-Prevention systems
trigger alerts when they detect
something in a blind car’s blind
spot.
• The radar chirps between 10 and
11 GHz over 5 millisecond period,
transmitting the radar signal from
a centrally located antenna cone.
OPTICS
• A camera mounted near the
rear-view mirror build a real-
time 3D images of the road
ahead, spotting hazards like
pedestrians and animals.
• Intelligent transporting
• Military applications
• Transportation in hazardous
places
• Shipping
• Taxi services
• Public transportation
