Autonomous Vehicles, Volume 1: Using Machine Intelligence

Addressing the current challenges, approaches and applications relating to autonomous vehicles, this groundbreaking new volume presents the research and techniques in this growing area, using Internet of Things (IoT), Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

This book provides and addresses the current challenges, approaches, and applications relating to autonomous vehicles, using Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, deep learning, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. Several self-driving or autonomous (“driverless”) cars, trucks, and drones incorporate a variety of IoT devices and sensing technologies such as sensors, gyroscopes, cloud computing, and fog layer, allowing the vehicles to sense, process, and maintain massive amounts of data on traffic, routes, suitable times to travel, potholes, sharp turns, and robots for pipe inspection in the construction and mining industries.

Few books are available on the practical applications of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and autonomous vehicles from a multidisciplinary approach. Further, the available books only cover a few applications and designs in a very limited scope. This new, groundbreaking volume covers real-life applications, business modeling, issues, and solutions that the engineer or industry professional faces every day that can be transformed using intelligent systems design of autonomous systems. Whether for the student, veteran engineer, or another industry professional, this book, and its companion volume, are must-haves for any library.
