 INTRODUCTION
The 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.
It can take its passengers anywhere it wants to
go safely, legally, and comfortably.
WHAT IS A DRIVERLESS CAR ?

Driverless car is also known as : An autonomous car , Self-Driving Car &

Robot Car
It is vehicle that can drive itself from one point to another without any
assistance from driver
It is operated by an autopilot system
 HISTORY

The project is currently being led by: Sebastian Thrun

Director of the Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
2005 DARPA Grand Challenge Winner
Co-inventor of Google Street View
 COMPONENTS

Integrates Google Maps with various hardware sensors and

artificial intelligence software

Google Maps : Provides the car with road information

Hardware Sensors: Provides the car with real time environment conditions
Artificial Intelligence: Provides the car with real time decisions
Features driverless car DO have :

Seatbelts
Start-stop buttons
Screen displaying
drivers route
FEATURES DRIVERLESS CAR DO NOT HAVE :

Accelerator pedal
Brake pedal
Steering whell
 HARDWARE SENSORS
Lidar: (Light Detection And Ranging) 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.

Video Camera: Detects upcoming traffic light.

Position Estimator: Allow the car to "see" far enough to detect nearby or
upcoming cars or obstacles

Distance Sensor: Allow the car to "see" far enough to detect nearby or
upcoming cars or obstacles
HOW THE DRIVERLESS CAR WORKS ?
 ADVANTAGES
Managing traffic flow to increase road capacity
To avoid accidents
The current location of vehicle can be determine by using G.P.S

DISADVANTAGES
If the vehicle is using internet which have less security then
from the
hackers point of view some cases the vehicle con be switched off on the road
(rear cases)
CONCLUSION

The driver less cars technologies improves vehicles stability helps to

minimize lose of control

Driverless cars are designed to minimize accidents by addressing the main

causes of collisions, driving error, distraction and drowsiness
