Description
Summary:This chapter illustrates the history and recent advancements in the field of Autonomous Vehicles with regard to two important concerns that play the most vital role in successful implementation and working of an Autonomous Car: (1) Obstacle Detection and (2) Track Detection. The car should be able to detect the obstacles for smooth and efficient working in order to avoid accident and collision. It should also be able to calculate the distance of the obstacle from the car. Similarly, Track Detection is also important as the autonomous car should stay within a predefined track and has to keep itself within the yellow lines on both sides of the road. This chapter elaborates the technologies and advancements that have been presented in the literature till date that deal with Obstacle Detection and Track Detection in Autonomous Cars/Vehicles.
