3. An autonomous car also known as a driverless car, self-driving
car, robotic car and unmanned ground vehicle is a vehicle that
is capable of sensing its environment and navigating without
human input
The DARPA challenge is the kick start of modern
autonomous car

17. Deep learning: Deep learning (also known as deep structured learning or hierarchical learning) is part
of a broader family of machine learning methods based on learning data representations, as opposed to
task-specific algorithms. Learning can be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised
• Supervised
• Unsupervised
• Reinforcement
Artificial neural networks key to this machine learning system
21. Stages of teaching a car how to drive
1. Training Phase
2. Validation Phase
3. Test Phase
4. Continuum Phase
All this is carried out by using simultaneous localization and mapping
(SLAM)
28. SWARM INTELLIGENCE V/S CONTROLLED TRAINING
Tesla is leading the autonomous pack with the technology enabled called swarm intelligence. Every
car that is sold after 2014 quarter 3 is enabled with Auto pilot system. An advanced driving
assistance system that hasn’t seen only any car before. So, the whole Tesla fleet operates as a
network. When one car learns something, they all learn it. when it comes to the autopilot software,
each driver using the autopilot system essentially becomes an “expert trainer for how the autopilot
works.
30. LIDAR V/S IMAGE RECOGNITION CAMERAS
As we have seen in the previous chapter. Lidar and HD cameras are used in making the
AI car possible. As the lidars are extremely costly. Which restricts in making the mass
market car in future kind of impossible. To overcome this tesla and other startup
16
companies are just using HD cameras with image recognition. These help in decreasing
the costs of car by a big margin. And make the Driver less car possible.
