A Review on Autonomous Driving Systems

Abstract

Autonomous vehicles are one of the promising solutions to reduce traffic crashes and improve
mobility and traffic system. An autonomous vehicle is preferable because it helps in reducing the need for
redesigning the infrastructure and because it improves the vehicle power efficiency in terms of cost and time
taken to reach the destination. Autonomous vehicles can be divided into 3 types: Aerial vehicles, ground
vehicles and underwater vehicles. General, four basic subsystems are integrated to enable a vehicle to move by
itself which are: Position identifying and navigation system, surrounding environment situation analysis system,
motion planning system and trajectory control system. In this paper, a review on autonomous vehicles and their
related technological applications is presented to highlight the aspects of this industry as a part of industry 4.0
concept. Moreover, the paper discusses the best autonomous driving systems to be applied on our wheelchair
project which aims at converting a manual wheelchair to a smart electric wheelchair
