GOOGLE DRIVERLESS CAR !!!

Hi friendzz...

In childhood many of us had dreams….car which is moving without any operator is definitely one of them … !!
and now this is no more a dream …!!!!!!!!!!!

Google driverless car project is handled by Google for developing a technology for autonomous cars.This is headed by google engineer Sebastian Thrun 2005 DARPA GRAND CHANNEL WINNER at STANFORD . 


Google driverless car is powered by ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE that utilizes the input from a video camera inside the car and some sensors and some radar sensors placed at different positions of the car .





The features of this DRIVERLESS car are :

  •        It can steer itself looking for the obstacles and sensing              them.
  •        It can accelerate itself to the correct speed limit at                     junctions and turnings and obstacles. 
  •        It can move according to the traffic stops or moves .

HOW DOES IT WORK !!!!!!!!!

  • “Google maps are integrated with hardware sensors and artificial intelligence”
  • Google maps provide the car with the map associated with the route which is to be followed.
  • Driverless car  works by the use of sensors .
  • Sensors send the information where artificial intelligence is used to take the real time decisions.

GOOGLE MAPS:

This interacts with GPS and acts like a database.
It gives the information like traffic report ,junctions etc.

HARDWARE SENSORS:

These sensors gives the information about the real time environment which is present in the surroundings of the car.

Environment is dynamic so we need real time results.



TYPES OF HARWARE SENSORS USED:
        
  •        LIDAR
  •        VIDEO CAMERA
  •        POSITION ESTIMATOR
  •        DISTANCE SENSOR
 Data from sensors and maps are sent to artificial intelligence which calculates:
  •            Speed of the vehicle with which it should be moved.
  •             Direction of the vehicle.
  •             Stopping and starting of vehicle
  •             Steering
  •        6 door Toyota prius
  •        AUDI TT
  •         3LEXUS RX450h


ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE:



As of 2012,NEVEDA in US is the first state to officially accept the use of this vehicle .

The project team has equipped a test cars which included:
