Abstract• Google has launched this new car project. • This is a self driven car (Google driverless car). It does not

need any driver to drive it.• This is a very ambitious project. • The driverless driving of the car is achieved with the help of

many technologies. • The sensors and cameras are some of the important things

which make this possible. • The car is still in testing stage. It is said to be out shortly and is

doing very well.

Existing System

Every car which needs the assistance from a driver to move from one point to another.

Disadvantages

Proposed System

The Google Self Driving 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.

Components

Integrates Google Maps with various hardware sensors and artificial intelligence software.• Google MapsProvides the car with road information• Hardware SensorsProvides the car with real time environment conditions• Artificial IntelligenceProvides the car with real time decisions

Google Maps

Google Maps interacts with GPS and acts like a database.

• Speed Limits• Upcoming intersections• Traffic Report• Nearby Collisions• Directions

Hardware Sensors

•LIDAR•Video Camera•Position Estimator•Distance Sensor

Hardware Sensors

Artificial Intelligence

Google Maps and the hardware sensors data are sent to the AI.AI then determines:• How fast to accelerate• When to slow/stop• When to steer the wheel

Goal of AIThe agent’s goal is to take the passenger to its desired destination safely and legally.

Advantages

• Reduction in car accidents• Optimal speed• Efficient use of highways• Application in various industries• Saving of parking space• Transportation will no longer be a hindrance

Challenges

• Cost issue• Impact on public transport• Environmental issues• Technology and maintenance issues• Technology and privacy issues• Social issues• Political and regulatory issues

Conclusion

• Very useful• Vehicles could be ready for market in less than three to five

years.
