Situation: Manufacturers are testing cars in public covering thousands of miles & seeking data. Here project called George is gathering data that will enable other cars to us mapping by using motion tracking inertial system to capture yaw, roll, & pitch a 1oo times. Need to provide highly detailed maps so that robotic vehicles can operate safely in all environments as a reality check. Significance: GPS receiver in George vehicles collecting longitude, latitude, & elevations over and over resulting in as much as 2 B individual pieces of data daily. Hundreds of Gigabits of data are providing detailed 3 dimensional image of cars route are used to analyze and process this data. An autonomous vehicles must be able to determine its precise location and to ultimately maintain its own maps. LIDARs systems captures a depth map that records distinctive shapes & distances of roadside scenery that correlates with vehicle own LIDAR unit. Automatic braking, lane control, & overtaking will enable technology to give vehicles full autonomy. To source a comprehensive briefing on how HERE is testing autonomous vehicles.
