SELF DRIVING

WHAT IS A SELF-DRIVING CAR?

Self-driving car is a vehicle


that uses a combination of
sensors, cameras, radar and
artificial intelligence (AI) to
travel between destinations
without a human operator
HOW DOES IT FUNCTION?

To perceive visual
surroundings, most self-
driving cars have some
combination of three visual
systems: video cameras,
radar and lidar.

They require all three where AIs The AI synthesizes the

WHY ARE SELF-DRIVING CARS MORE
KNOWN?

 So companies have invested an estimated $80 billion and


years of work into this technology? Why?

Pretty much every major


car company has

implemented some kind
of autopilot technology
into their cars. Not having

THE LAW

While self-driving car


companies have convinced
many state and national
governments to let them test
their AIs on public roads,
nearly all governments strictly
limit the cars from driving
outside of testing tracks, with
only a few exceptions.
WHO USES SELF-DRIVING CARS?

Ford, GM, Toyota, Honda, Volkswagen, Nissan, Volvo, BMW,


Apple, Google, Uber and more—have been working on driverless
cars for years, often in collaboration with components providers
like Nvidia and Intel.

Google has developed a Google Chauffeur software, which the


company hopes to bring to market by 2020.
ABOUT THE SELF-DRIVING CARS

 The sensors are always observing, and are not affected by the
state of the driver (sleepy, angry, etc.), and can scan in
multiple directions simultaneously

 They have connectivity which means cars have access to the


latest traffic, weather, surface conditions, construction, maps,
adjacent cars, and road infrastructure

 Data is used to monitor a car’s surrounding operating


environment to anticipate braking or avoid hazardous
conditions.
Facts:
 Recent NHTSA research shows that approximately 94% of
accidents are caused by human error
