WORKING MECHANISM
Driver sets a destination and car’s software calculates a route
and starts the car on its way.
A rotating, roof-mounted LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging)
sensor monitors a 60-meter range around the car and creates
a dynamic 3-D map of the car’s current environment.
A sensor on the left rear wheel monitors sideways movement
to detect the car’s position relative to the 3-D map.
Radar systems in the front and rear bumpers calculate
distances to obstacles.

Working continues
Artificial intelligence software in the car is connected to
all the sensors and has input from Google Street View
and video cameras.
The AI simulates human perceptual and decision making
processes and controls driving systems such as steering
and brakes.
The car’s software consults Google Maps for advance
notice of things like landmarks and traffic signs and lights.
An override function is available to allow a human to
take control of the vehicle.

THE FLOW CHART

VEHICULAR COMMUNICATION
Vehicular communication systems are a type of network in
which vehicles and roadside units are the communicating
nodes, providing each other with information
Contain two types of nodes: vehicles and roadside stations.
Both are dedicated short-range communications (DSRC)
devices works in 5.9 GHz band with bandwidth of 75 MHz and
approximate range of 1000 m.
The network support both private data and public
communications but higher priority is given to public
communications.

GOOGLE DRIVERLESS CARS
Google Self-Driving Car is the real name of the project
that involves developing technology for autonomous
cars, mainly electric cars.
The software powering Google’s cars is called Google
Chauffeur. Lettering on each car identifies it as a “self-
driving car”.
The project is led by Google Engineer Chris Urmson.
Google cars have about $150,000 in equipment including
a $70,000 LIDAR system. The range finder is mounted on
the top is a Velodyne 64-beam laser.

POTENTIAL ADVANTAGES
Fewer traffic collisions
Roadway capacity will be increased
Higher speed limit can be sets for autonomous cars
15
CONCLUSION
Future of transportation and mankind.
Competition like DARPA and companies like Google,
Mercedes are fueling the development.
The autonomous car have numerous advantages,
Ever decreasing cost of technology, and involvement of
big automotive giants.
4 states in USA namely Nevada, Florida, California, and
Michigan, along with District of Columbia who have
successfully enacted laws addressing autonomous
vehicles
