3 Literature Review

Autonomous driving is not an easy task. It involves various su bjects and technologies such as

automation control [12], computer visi on [13] and ar tiﬁ ci al intelligence [14]. Thus, a working system

would be very complicated and comprehensive.

Although autonomous driving is quite challenging, with the development of related technolo-

gies, it is not completely unfeasible. There are already some companies and universities making

approaches. If it comes true in the future, there will be a revolution of transportation. With more

accurate control by computers, there would be many ben eﬁ ts as mentioned in introduction. There-

fore, autonomous driving is import ant for improving humans’ lif e. Also, some researches have shown

the big potential market of autonomous cars [15].

Taking this big societ al and marketing impacts into account, many universities and companie s

are doing a lot of work to automate driving process. In general, there are two types of approaches:

automated mode, which does not need any human intervention, and mixed mode, which helps

human driver in some li mite d scenarios. This section will talk about two major implementations of

automated cars: the Google driverless car [16] and Stanfor d’s Junior [17], and mixed-mode designs

of Nissan.
