Self-driving car, also known as driverless car, computer-driven car, or wheeled mobile robot, is a kind of intelligent car that realizes unmanned driving through a computer system . In the 20th century, it has a history of several decades, and the beginning of the 21st century shows a trend of close to practical use.
Self-driving cars rely on artificial intelligence, visual computing, radar, surveillance devices, and global positioning systems to work together to allow computers to operate motor vehicles autonomously and safely without any human intervention.
Autopilot technology includes video cameras, radar sensors, and laser rangefinders to understand the surrounding traffic and navigate the road ahead through a detailed map (from a human-driven car). This all happens through Google’s data centers, which process the vast amount of information the car collects about the surrounding terrain. In this regard, self-driving cars are the equivalent of remote-controlled cars or smart cars in Google’s data centers. One of the applications of Internet of Things technology in automotive autonomous driving technology.
Volvo distinguishes four stages of autonomous driving according to the level of automation: driver assistance, partial automation, high automation, and full automation.
1. Driving Assistance System (DAS): The purpose is to provide assistance to the driver, including providing important or useful driving-related information, as well as clear and concise warnings when the situation begins to become critical. Such as the “Lane Departure Warning” (LDW) system.
2. Partially automated systems: systems that can automatically intervene when the driver receives a warning but fails to take appropriate action in time, such as the “Automatic Emergency Braking” (AEB) system and the “Emergency Lane Assist” (ELA) system.
3. Highly automated system: A system that can replace the driver to control the vehicle for a long or short period of time, but still requires the driver to monitor the driving activities.
4. Fully automated system: A system that can unmanned a vehicle and allow all occupants in the vehicle to engage in other activities without monitoring. This level of automation allows for computer work, rest and sleep, and other recreational activities.
