Self Driving Cars: The Road Ahead

Abstract

This paper focuses on overview of self-driving cars and its current scenario in India as well as globally. An Autonomous vehicle is not a new concept to the world but it has gained more popularity in last two decades. Self-driving cars work on basic three steps, perception, decision making and control. This paper explains different levels of automation in self-driving cars along with basic perception components and sensors which an autonomous vehicle needs to identify the surrounding. The paper also briefs about history and discuss the challenges to implement self-driving cars on road. Further the paper discusses the upcoming areas in which budding researchers in India can work to achieve up to third level of automation in self-driving cars.
