Self-Driving Car A Deep-Learning Approach

Abstract

Nowadays self-directed learning and automation are not restricted to human beings only. If you stare out at the automotive horizon, you can see a new exciting era coming into limelight: the age of self-driving cars. An age when humans will no longer need to keep their eyes on the road. No more concerns about distraction while driving or those stressful rush hour commutes, vehicles will whisk us where we want to go, blazingly fast and efficiently. This paper aims at demonstrating a system, which is able to drive a car on road without any human input. Both software and hardware parts are discussed here. The vehicle would contain certain sensors such as GPS, Ultrasonic Sensor, Camera and would contain an on-board computer for decision making. Waypoint data would be obtained from a nav provider like Google Maps. All of it would be simulated in CARLA, an open-source simulator.
