 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.
