To make a fully functional self-driving car means replicating the perception, reasoning and control of a human driver. Nobody has managed to do this so far, at least not to replicate enough of the essential human capabilities for safe driving in complex environments.



自动驾驶很容易当有提供no surprises and the boundaries of safe motion are known. Rather, those boundaries should be predictable within an adequate time-horizon, which could be as much as 10 seconds for highway driving. The challenges are different from robot navigation and control at low speed; a mobile robot can stop if an obstacle is detected. If its sensor fails it will have a collision, but sensor redundancy can fix this. As speeds become higher the challenges become greater.

In this talk, a number of scenarios for automated motion control are presented. For the feasible ones, algorithms are presented, while a reality check is made for the more fantastic visions of automated driving.

This event counts towards CPD.
