Abstract

It has long been a goal of robotics researchers to build smart vehicles: automobiles and buses and trucks that could avoid accidents, decrease congestion, and decrease driver effort. General Motors built self-driving cars in the 1950’s; Ohio State did land mark work on wire-guided cars in the 1960’s; Moravec’s thesis work in the 1970’s was motivated by this topic; and numerous groups in the 80’s and 90’s in Japan, the US, and Europe have built some sort of self-driving car.
