Autonomous Vehicle

This project is about the Autonomous Vehicle, our goal is to build an autonomous car which it can avoid obstacles automatically, recognize and follow roads automatically, recognize traffic lights and signs automatically. In order to achieve the above requirements, we need the following materials: a modified RC car, battery, driver board, raspberry pi, lidar, and camera. Battery-powered, driver board can control moving and stop of car, raspberry pi used to control lidar and camera, lidar recognizes and avoids obstacles, and cameras are responsible for identifying traffic lights, signals and making vehicles follow the road. The reason for designing autonomous cars is because autonomous driving technology is the development direction of future driving modes. Mature applications of autonomous driving technology will bring more convenience to people's lives. At the end of the first quarter, we completed the movement and stop of the car as well as the lidar part as planned which could stop the car when it near obstacle and when we remove the obstacle, the car will re-run. In our plan, we will do the camera part in the next quarter, after that, the car will truly achieve autonomous driving on the road, and our projects are all completed.
