Abstract:

Autonomous vehicles will play a transformational role in future urban mobility systems. Autonomous systems boast several advantages over human drivers:

  • safety and comfort
  • efficiency and throughput
  • environment impact

They will also inspire new concepts of transportation, e.g., mobility-on-demand systems, which reach the user on request rather than have the user go to specified locations (train stations, bus stops, etc.) and wait in order to access transportation systems.

In this talk, I will describe our ongoing work in building a low-cost autonomous vehicle that reliably and safely navigates densely populated urban localities, e.g., the campus of the National University of Singapore. Some video segments showing our progress are available here:
