When life becomes so hectic that…
When such hectic turns out as tragedies
THE SOLUTION
FORTHIS IS…….
Google Driverless Car

Introduction The Google Driverless Car is like any car, but:
It can steer itself while looking out for
obstacles.
It can accelerate itself to the correct speed
limit.
It can stop and go itself based on any traffic
condition.
History
The project is currently being led by: Sebastian Thrun.
Director of the Stanford
Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.
Co-inventor of Google Street View.

Devices involved
ComponentsGoogle Maps
Wheel speed sensorsRadars
LIDAR
VIDEO CAMERA
POSITION ESTIMATOR
DISTANCE SENSOR
Automotive Night Vision
Artificial Intelligence
Google MapsProvides the car with road information.Google Maps interacts with GPS and acts like a database.
Speed Limits.Upcoming intersections.Traffic Report.Nearby collisions.Directions.
WHEEL SPEED Sensors
Radars
LIDAR“Heart of the system“LIDAR stands for Light Detection And Ranging.It can measure the distance to, or other properties of a target by illuminating the target with light.Scanning distance of 60 meters (~197 feet).
VIDEO CAMERA
Detects upcoming traffic light.
DISTANCE SENSOR
Allow the car to "see" far enough to detect nearby or upcoming cars or obstacles.
POSITION ESTIMATOR(Wheel Encoder)
Determines vehicle's location and keeps track of its movements.
Automotive Night VisionIncreases vehicle driver’s perception and
seeing distance in darkness and poor weather conditions. Even those distances which are beyond the reach of vehicle’s headlight.
Artificial IntelligenceGoogle Maps and the hardware sensors
data are sent to the AI.
AI then determines:
how fast to acceleratewhen to slow down/stopwhen to steer the wheel
Goal of AI
The agent's goal is to take the passenger to its desired destination safely and legally.

TECHNOLOGIES MAKING A SYSTEM FULLY AUTONOMOUS
Anti-lock brakes(ABS)
Electronic stability control (ESC)
Cruise controlLane Departure Warning
System Self Parking
Automated Guided Vehicle Systems
AdvantagesAvoid accidents.
Current location can be easily identified by GPS.Manage traffic Flow.Smoother ride.Relief of vehicle occupants from driving and navigation chores.Reduction in car theft, due to the vehicle's self-awareness.
DisadvantagesIf the user is using internet with less security then it
can be caught by the hackers.Hackers can turn system on or off.Hackers can change the route.In case of failure in main senor and backup sensor the vehicle can create chances of accidents.Chris Urmson of Google said That the LIDAR technology cannot spot a police officer signaling car to stop.The vehicles are unable to recognize temporary traffic signals. According to Google, projects having these issues fixed by 2020.
Adopting Challenges
HARD WARE COMPARISON BETWEEN MAN
&MACHINE
1. Reduction in car accidents
Automated collision avoidance systems Less fatalities Avoid human errors No sleepy, grumpy, texting humans
2.Optimal speed
Fuel efficient driving Saves 10-15% FUEL “Eco – friendly”
3.Efficient use of highways
Closer car-to-car distance
Less need for building more road lanes
4. Application in various industry
Elimination of breaks in between
Lessen the burden of the truck drivers
Taxi industry??
5. Saving of parking space
Independently seek parking
Demand for adjacent parking decrease
Conversion to other land uses
Challenges
Technology & Maintenance issues
Challenges
Political & Regulatory Issues
Can “passengers” be drunken?
Companies offered Automated Cars
Future Implication
Use of Wifi (incl. 3G) technology
Critical criteria(in order of significance)
Wifi Bluetooth
Range 300 feet+ ~30 feet
Security Higher(if configured properly)
Lower
Interconnectivity with relevant stakeholders
Higher (server/network concept)
Lower (device-to-device concept)
Cost Higher (yet acceptable)
Lower
Overall Better Worse
The driverless car improves vehicle’s stability helps to minimize the loss of control.
Main aim is to minimize the road accidents.
