What is a driverless car(Robot cars)?
ois a vehicle that can drive itself from one point to another without assistance from a driver; in other words, with an autopilot system.
In order to drive a car, a system would need to:
o Sensorso Navigation o Motion planning (traffic)o Actuation (operate the
mechanics of the vehicle).
SensorsoSensors employed in
driverless cars are called Mobileye N.V.
oMobileye offers a wide range of driver safety solutions combining artificial vision image processing, multiple technological applications and information technology
Navigation oThe ability to plot a route from
where the vehicle is to where the user wants to be has been available for several years.
oThe more sophisticated systems also receive radio updates on road blockages, and adapt accordingly
Motion planningois a term used
in robotics for the process of detailing a task into discrete motions.
oIt should execute this task while avoiding objects like other cars.
Control of vehicleoAs automotive technology matures, more
and more functions of the underlying engine, gearbox etc. are no longer directly controlled by the driver by mechanical means.
oIt is controlled via a computer, which receives instructions from the driver as inputs and delivers the desired effect by means of electronic throttle control.
oTherefore, the technology for a computer to control all aspects of a vehicle is well understood.
