 Introduction
 Google self-driving car is a project by google that involves
developing technology for mainly electric cars.
 The software installed in Google's cars is called Google
Chauffeur.
 The project was formerly led by Sebastian Thrun, former
director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
 and co-inventor of Google Street View
 Google plans to make these cars available to the public in
2020.
 Technology
 The project team has equipped a number of different types of
cars with the self-driving equipment, including the Toyota, 
Audi TT, and Lexus RX450h, Google has also developed
their own custom vehicle, which is assembled by 
Roush Enterprises and uses equipment from Bosch, LG.
 Google's robotic cars have about $150,000 in equipment
including a $70,000 LIDAR system.
 Laser allows the vehicle to generate a detailed 3D map of its
environment.
 The car then takes these generated maps and combines them
with high-resolution maps of the world.
 As of June 2014, the system works with a very high definition
inch-precision map of the area the vehicle is expected to use.
 What is it?
 It is the first truly driverless electric car prototype built by
Google to test the next stage of its five-year-old self-driving
car project.
 It looks like a cross between a Smart car and a Nissan Micra,
with two seats and room enough for a small amount of
luggage.
 It is the first real physical incarnation of Google’s vision of
what a self-driving car of the near future could be.
 How does it work?
 Powered by an electric motor with around a 100 mile
range, the car uses a combination of sensors and software
to locate itself in the real world combined with highly
accurate digital maps.
 A GPS is used, just like the satellite navigation systems in
most cars, to get a rough location of the car, at which
point radar, lasers and cameras take over to monitor the
world around the car, 360-degrees.
 The software can recognise objects, people, cars, road
marking, signs and traffic lights, obeying the rules of the
road and allowing for multiple unpredictable hazards,
including cyclists. It can even detect road works and
safely navigate around them
 Equipment Used
 Lidar System
 Video Cameras
 Radar Sensors
 Ultrasonic Sensors
 Central Computer
 Lidar

• The Liadar Sensors is

designed for obstacle
detection and navigation of
autonomous ground
vehicles.
 Video Cameras
 Different types
of cameras are
installed at various
locations.
 Radar Sensors
• The radars are installed at
front and back side of the car.
 Ultrasonic Sensors
• It is use to measure the position
of object very close to the
vehicles, such as other vehicles
when parking.
 Central Computer

• Information from all the Sensors is analysed by a

central computer.
• It manipulates the steering, accelerators and brakes.
 Advantages
 Managing traffic flow.
 Relieving Vehicles.
 Avoid accidents.
 Increase roadway capacity.
 Determine current location.
 Limitations
 Vehicles can be switched off on the road (in rare cases).
 Less security when using Internet.
 Hackers can be change routes (in rare cases).
 In case of failure of Sensors vehicle can created a chance of
accidents.
 In rainfall car cannot be recognised traffic signals.
