Google CEO Eric Schmidt◦ “It’s a bug that cars were invented before
computers… Your car should drive itself. It just makes sense.”
Technology
To drive a car, a system would need to:
◦Understand its immediate environment (Sensors)
◦Know where it is and where it wants to go (Navigation)
◦Find its way in the traffic (Motion planning)
◦Operate the mechanics of the vehicle (Actuation)
Technology
Fully autonomous ◦ Vehicles for paved roads◦ Free-ranging vehicles
Pre-built infrastructure ◦ Dual mode transit – monorail◦ Automated highway systems◦ Free-ranging on grid
Driver-assistance ◦ Sensorial-informative◦ Actuation-corrective◦ Systemic
