2.  An autonomous car, also known as robotic or informally
as driverless or self-driving, is an autonomous vehicle capable of
fulfilling the human transportation capabilities of a traditional car.
 As an autonomous vehicle, it is capable of sensing its environment
and navigating on its own.
 A human may choose a destination, but is not required to perform
any mechanical operation of the vehicle.
 Autonomous vehicles sense the world with such techniques
as RADAR, LIDAR, GPS and computer vision.
 Advanced control systems interpret the information to identify
appropriate navigation paths, as well as obstacles and relevant
signage.
 Reduces the risk of accidents and improves drive quality.

5.  RAdio Detection And Ranging
 A radar system transmits radio waves called radar
signals in predetermined directions.
 Radar signals are reflected especially well by materials of
considerable electrical conductivity—especially by most
metals.
 The information provided by radar includes the bearing
and range (and therefore position) of the object from the
radar scanner.
RADAR

6. RADAR USES:
Distance measurement
Speed measurement
Reduction of interference
effects
Plot and track extraction
Frequency modulation

7.  LIght Detection And Ranging.
 It is an optical remote sensing technology that can
measure the distance to, or other properties of a target by
illuminating the target with light, often using pulses from
a laser.
 A narrow laser beam can be used to map physical features
with very high resolution
LIDAR/LADAR

9.  The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-
based satellite navigation system.
 Contains all types of maps, like streets maps, which may
be displayed in human readable format via text or in a
graphical format.
 Provides directions directly to an autonomous vehicles.
 provides information on traffic conditions (either via
historical or real time data) and suggesting alternative
directions
GPS

12.  Computer vision is a field that includes methods for
acquiring, processing, analysing, and understanding images
and, in general, high-dimensional data from the real world
in order to produce numerical or symbolic information.
 Typical tasks for computer vision are Recognition, Motion
analysis, scene reconstruction & image restoration.
