Overview• This presentation is designed to function like an automated vehicle
in many ways:
– Run smoothly
– Transition you from one place to the other (Beginning to End)
– May suddenly update route and change direction without any of
your input
• To help you become accustomed to this not too distant future, the
overview is as follows:

https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/252112-what-is-a-self-driving-car
The first truly hands-off, self-driving
cars will be here within five years.
Fully autonomous cars without
steering wheels or gas and brake
pedals may be 10 years away. That’s
the consensus among automakers.
By some definitions, several
automakers have cars on the
road today that meet a limited
definition of autonomous driving.

“Today our lane lines are only four inches
thick. Now every lane line we lie down going
forward is going to be six inches thick. I’ve
already started to see some of this transition.”
-Caltrans director Malcolm Dougherty
Another roadway modification concerns the
rounded Botts’ Dots that mark lane divisions
and make cars go bump when they’re driven
over.

Audi claims the A8 is the first production car to reach
Level 3 autonomy
Audi says the A8 is capable of driving all by itself at
speeds of up to 37 mph. There are a couple caveats,
obviously. The traffic jam pilot only works on highways
with a physical barrier separating oncoming traffic

According to [Baidu CEO Li Yanhong], about 500 people in China die in traffic
accidents every day, and such tragedies can be prevented with the adaption of
self-driving cars. "When self-driving cars become common, lives will be saved.
It's of great economic and social significance,"

It's called The 25th Hour project—an
allusion to the 50 minutes or so the
average driver spends behind the wheel,
and the "extra" hour they could gain
without having to drive.

Levels of Automation
• Most of industry is converging around the Society
of Automotive Engineers (SAE) levels of
automation
– NHTSA began using these level in the Federal
Automated Vehicles Policy (September 2016)
• Level of automation largely is concerned with how
the driver interacts with the system, and the
distribution of responsibilities.

Essence of automation
In testing driving automation systems, we create
environments to understand how a vehicle will
respond to various situations.

Technological Convergence
• Early stage technologies often have a large
amount of diversity.
• As methods are defined and “winners” are
established, convergence occurs.
• Automation algorithms utilize a wide variety of
approaches.
• This doesn’t mean that the tech. isn’t safe, but
does imply that substantial discovery and
refinement is still possible.

Classification of Actions• Once you have seen how a system responds to a certain situation,
how do you know if that action was safe?

• Environment – The roadway and all other static objects in
the defined space (pavement and furniture)
• Traffic – Dynamic objects in the environment
– Other vehicles, pedestrians, animals, bouncing sports
balls, anything else you can imagine…

• In order to answer this question TRC conducted a large user
survey
� Participants from government and industry
• Questions were asked based on what test scenarios were desired
� Resulted in a very large amount of data
• This information was initially reduced by identifying the course
features necessary for each test scenario
