The document discusses autonomous vehicles and their components. It notes that autonomous vehicles can drive themselves without human assistance using sensors like LIDAR, radar, cameras and ultrasonic sensors connected to a central CPU. The document provides a brief history of autonomous vehicles, outlines the hardware components and their functions. It also discusses some of the work done on autonomous vehicles between 2012-2020, and lists potential advantages like reduced accidents and disadvantages like hacking risks.

3. A word autonomous is derived from a Greek word.
Autonomous = Autos + Nomos
It is vehicle that can drive itself from one place to
another without any assistance from driver
In other words it is operated by an autopilot system
(SELF) (GOVERN)
4. This project invented by Google engineer Sebastian
Thrun, director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Laboratory and co-inventor of Google Street View.
Nevada Dept. of Motor vehicles issued the first license for an
autonomous car in 2012.
The license was issued to a toyota motors with Google’s
experimental driverless technology.
6. LIDAR is mounted on the roof of
the vehicle which are rotated.
LASER beam move around the
car
The LIDAR (Light detection and
Ranging) sensor is a scanner.
7. Radar is an objective detection system
that uses radio waves to determine the
range speed of objective.
measures the distance to various objects
and allow the system to reduce the speed
of the car
Three RADAR sensors are fixed in front
of the bumper and one in the rear
bumper.
8. Camera are installed at the top of the
front glass of car.
detects traffic lights and any moving
objects in front of the car.
It is also used to identify road
markings and traffic signal.
done by the artificial intelligence
software.
9. These sensors are mounted on the
wheel of a vehicle.
Ultrasonic sensors may be used to
measure the position of object very
close to the vehicle, such as curbs .
These are used for to detect nearby
objects or measure the position of
other vehicles during parking.
10. The GPS sensor Provide the car
with Real time information about
the Surrounding .
The Source and destination is
marked on the Map and the Car
uses GPS to navigate itself without
human interruption.
11. It is a brain of the car.
All the data obtained from each and
every sensor systems is fed to the
central computer.
The central computer is a very
powerful processing unit mounted
on the inside of the vehicle

14. WORK ON THE AUTONOMOUS CAR
2012
•Google Driverless car project tests of self-driving
vehicles, including six Toyota Priuses
2014 - 2015
•Mercedes, Cardillac, BMW, Auti, and Nissan models include
autonomous steering
•Google’s fleet of fully autonomous Toyota Prius hybrids
will be released
2018
2020
•Volvo, GM, Audi, Nissan and BMW have fully autonomous
cars
2020

15. Reduction in car accident
Efficient use of highways
Reduction in the need for traffic police and vehicle
insurance.
Reduction in car theft, due to the vehicle's self-
awareness.
16. Chances of hacking
Cost is high
Need of cyber security
Failure of sensor leads to accident
17. Driver less cars are designed to minimize accidents
by addressing the main causes of collisions.
It is not only useful but also the safer when compare
to the other cars which are present.
