Vehicle Autonomous Driving System

Autonomous vehicles or self-driving cars industry and technology have played an important role in research industry and automotive industry. Autonomous cars are those vehicles have the ability to sense there surrounding and navigate and drive themselves on roads through traffic without human interventions. In other words, they can move from one location to another one without human interaction. In this paper, an autonomous vehicle system prototype is proposed. The vehicle is able to sense its surrounding and keep going on the road on its own through traffic and other barriers such as people and traffic lights. That is, the vehicles are able to drive and detect the road signals and take decision accordingly, whether to continue or to make a turn. The proposed system uses raspberry pi microcontroller and ultrasonic sensors to detect any object, obstacle, or pedestrians in front of the vehicle and to measure the distance. In addition, a raspberry pi camera is connected to the raspberry pi to continuously take pictures of the road. These pictures will be analyzed by the raspberry pi microcontroller. The vehicle is able to reach its destination safely. A self-driving car prototype has been designed and implemented. The porotype autonomous vehicle system was tested and performed as expected.
