 INTRODUCTION:
The Google Driverless Car is like any car,
but:
 It can steer itself while looking out for
obstacles.
It can stop and go itself based on any traffic
condition.
It is a combination of different technologies
developed by Google
That will allow a car to drive itself even on
the highway

Contd:

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
View

Contd:

 Uses Google map, sensors, artificial intelligence

 Lidar produced detailed map of the environment
 Car uses white stripes on road to know lanes
 360 degree motion sensor and cameras to sense
 Control of the car still exist
 Sensors pushing data into main computer to
process information

 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

 GOOGLE MAP:  

Google Maps interacts with GPS and acts like a

database.
 Speed Limits.

 Upcoming
intersections.

 Traffic Report.

 Nearby collisions.

 Directions.

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:

 LIDAR
 VIDEO CAMERA
 POSITION ESTIMATOR
 DISTANCE SENSOR

 LIDAR
 “Heart of our system“

 LIDAR is an optical remote sensing technology

 Measure the distance to, or other properties of a
target
 It often using pulses from a laser.

 Scanning distance of 60 meters (~197 feet)

13/2/2013 Google Driverless Car 12

 VIDEO CAMERA
 Detects upcoming traffic light.

Recognizing moving obstacles like pedestrians and

vehicles

DISTANCE SENSOR
 Allow the car to "see" far enough to detect nearby or
upcoming cars or obstacles

It also contain radar

13/2/2013 Google Driverless Car 13

Contd:
 object returns a tiny part of the wave’s energy to a
dish

 Radar system has a transmitter that emits radio

waves called radar signal

 Doppler effect

POSITION ESTIMATOR(Wheel
Encoder)
Determines vehicle's location and keeps  track of
its movements.

GPS is a space based satellite navigation system

that provide location and time information

It is maintained by the US government

It freely accessible by anyone with a GPS receiver

 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:
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
13/2/2013 Google Driverless Car 16
 WORKING
 The motors are first have to be installed
 Apply pressure to both accelerator, brake pedals
and turn the wheels
 Motor receiving instructions from computer
 Lidar used to detect objects and distance
 video cameras detect traffic light
 Control of the car would still exist

 LET'S SEE IT IN ACTION!

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

 ADVANTAGES

 Improved fuel efficiency

 It will be of great help to people who are
physically challenged
 Higher speed limit for autonomous cars
 Reduction of space required for vehicle parking.
 Fewer traffic collision

01/30/22 Google Driverless Car 19

 DISADVANTAGES
 So many taxi drivers can lose their jobs

 It steals driving pleasure from drivers who love it

 Itrequires that the road are in good condition and

follows a strict traffic system

13/2/2013 Google Driverless Car 20

 CONCLUSION:

 Very useful .
Avoid accidents on the road
Reduce the traffic time at traffic signal
So many taxi drivers can loss their job
Vehicles could be ready for market in as
little as three to five years.
