Google car
Google self-driving car


In May 2014, Google presented a new concept for their driverless car that had neither a steering wheel nor pedals,[11] and unveiled a fully functioning prototype in December of that year that they planned to test on San Francisco Bay Area roads beginning in 2015.[12] Google plans to make these cars available to the public in 2020
How
does it work?
Ø The car
uses a combination of sensors and software to locate itself in the real world.
ØTo 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.
ØThe
software can recognize objects, people, cars, road marking, signs and traffic
lights, obeying the rules of the road and allowing for multiple unpredictable
hazards.
How it drives?
- ØWhere am I?
The car
processes both map and sensor information to determine where it
is in the
world. Our car knows what street it's on and which lane it's in.
- ØWhat’s around me?
Sensors helps
to detect objects all around us. The software classifies objects
based on their
size, shape and movement pattern.
- ØWhat will happen next?
The software
predicts what all the objects around us might do next.
- ØWhat should I do?
The software
then chooses a safe speed and trajectory for the car.
Advantages
¨The technology could
save life.
¨It follow all the
rules.
¨Increases the
capacity of road,
¨Disabilities would no
longer be a factor.
¨Less space for
parking.
¨Lack of human error.
Limitations
¨But under current
laws “a human must be in control of a car at all times.”
¨Some components
already available in some cars (automatic slow down and radar)
¨Risk of Hacking.
¨It could not be used
in emergency cases.
¨It is not working in
rainy and snowfall areas.
