An autonomous vehicle (AV) refers to a type of vehicle that is able to drive itself. It is a ground vehicle that can sense its surroundings and move safely with little or no human input. Self-driving cars use a range of sensors to sense their surroundings including GPS, inertial measurement units, radar, sonar, thermographic cameras and lidar. Sensory information is interpreted by advanced control systems to determine applicable signage, hurdles and proper navigation paths. They are also unaffected by human factors such as lack of attention and fatigue. This book provides significant information of autonomous vehicles to help develop a good understanding of its role in the future of mobility. Those in search of information to further their knowledge on automotive vehicles will be greatly assisted by it.
