I. Introduction

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has enabled 4,444 fully automated self-driving cars. In the near future, all technologieswillbeavailableforpassengerstorideinselfdrivingcars.Thevehicletakesherpassengerfromlocation A to location B, moving her fully automatically without

passenger intervention. Technology is one piece of the puzzle that must address before he can put self-driving carsontheroad.Thispaperanalyzescurrent(federaland state)policyregardingautonomousvehiclesandidentifies gaps that need to be addressed by governments and legislators. We also review the self-driving car safety featuresadvertisedbythevendor.Learnaboutself-driving car security from a cyberattack perspective. In addition, we analyze the psychological acceptance of self-driving cars by consumers. This whitepaper focuses on the obstacles that have prevented the realization of selfdriving cars in his decade. Self-driving cars are the dream of many. The advent of his car in self-driving could mean the dawn of ultimate his driving safety for some, or his newly discovered mobility. For example, think of an elderly relative who doesn't want anyone behind the wheel. A self-driving car can maintain his mobility and autonomy, but not endangeranyone. Or imagine someone who seems completely unaware that he drinks too much. NowI canseethem driving safely and I no longerhave to worry about the safety of myself or others who may be affected by poor judgment. Or imagine a disabled person whocannotdriveacartoday.Imaginethepossibilitiesthat will open up for them when self-driving cars become a reality. There are endless examples of how self-driving cars can help people and why they are needed, at least according to self-driving car proponents. His, who are against the idea that machines make the difference between life and death, are increasingly concerned as the autoindustrymovesclosertoself-drivingcars.

This is an algorithm tuned for lane recognition in bright, sunny conditions, but the may not perform well in dark, dark conditions. This framework uses a convolutional neural system to provide control points that depend on road images. Essentially, the model is set up to copy human driving behavior. The end-to-end model is less sensitive to changing lighting conditions, as the standard may not actually be written. At the end of this paper, we describe in detail how self-driving cars are controlled. Developa modelofcarmotionandtestthecontroldesign withthestimulator.

II. Literature Survey (Background study)

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have painted new perspectives in pattern recognition. Towards large-scale CNN deployments, many of the pattern recognition projectsendedwithearlystagesoftheirowncomponents, which were extracted and tracked by classifiers. The function used acquired knowledge using the CNN growth training example. This method is mainly used in image recognition , as the Convolution activity captures the 2D nature of a given image. Recently, convolutional neural networks(CNNs)are veryuseful inimageprocessing,and these types of neural networks have applications in various fields. For example, these are; Computer Vision, Face Recognition, Scene Labeling, Action Recognition, etc. CNN is a special architecture of the artificial neural networkproposedbyJanLekunin1988forthepurposeof effective image recognition. A CNN consists of layers of different types. They are the convolution layer, the subdiscretization layer (subsampling, subsampling), and the fully connected layer of the neural network perceptron. CNNsareaveryimportantpartofvariousneuralnetwork architectures. These architectures are used to generate new images, segment images, etc. The CNN's learning algorithm was parallelized with graphics processing units tofacilitatefastlearning.TheDARPAAutonomousVehicle (DAVE)wasusedtoidentifyend-to-endlearningpotential and validate the initiation of the DARPA Ground Robotic Learning (LAGR) program. However, DAVE's success has notbeenreliableenoughtosupportacompletealternative to the more modular approach for off-road driving: the average distance between collisions was about 20 m. A new application has been launched at NVIDIA. Based on DAVE,we create a powerful system thatcan learn the entire task of circuit and path monitoring without requiring manual decomposition, labeling, semantic abstraction, pathplanning,andcontrol.Theagendaofthis project is to circumvent his requirement to recognize certain characteristics.

III. Methodology

a. DATASETANDSIMULATOR

Fortheexperiment,weusedtheUnity-basedCarND.

Udacity Simulator - This simulator allows you to simulate his movement of the car in manual and automatic mode. The software is very flexible and allows map customization.Wemodeledaboutanhourdriveinmanual modeinvariousstyles.Itriednottocollidewiththeobject and go off track, but you can model styles that are only implemented on special polygons in the real world. Recording and processing movements resulted in the formation of a log containing various modeling parameters. Here the main image is the image containing thesimulatedleft,right,centercameraandsteeringangles. A total of images of about 54000 were obtained. There is nodoubtthatdrivingavehiclewithastimulatorisnotthe same as actually driving a vehicle. There are so many similarities.Giventhecurrentstateofgamedesign,images captured in the reproduced situation (roads, markings, scenes) is a good estimate of the images he could actually capture. The Stimulator provides additional safety and comfort. Collecting information is not a problem. Collect information efficiently. Also, even if the model fails, there is no danger to life. The stimulator is the best stage for exploring and improving different model structures. Later we can implement the model in a real car with a real camera, but for that we need a stimulator to work properly.

The original training dataset was biased toward either left or right-hand drive, as the ego-vehicle traversed the track in one direction. In addition, all collected data sets were heavily biased towards zero steering, as the steering angle was reset to zero each time the control buttonwasreleased.

To minimize these imbalances, we balanced the data set by removing random portions of the data set containing exactly zero steering angle measurements above a thresholdof400.

Image preprocessing and augmentation are necessary to improveconvergence,minimizeoverfitting,andspeedup the training process. The image processing pipeline was implemented in Python using computer vision libraries. Inthiswork,atotaloffiveenhancementtechniqueswere applied to the data set during the training phase: zoom, pan,brightnessandflip.

So I removed that part from the photo and changed the axis from 60 to 135. This allows them to focus more on its essential functions. Convert the RGB image to YUV using the CV2 library. The advantage of converting images is that YUV images require less bandwidth than RGB. After transforming the image, I smoothitusingtheGaussianBlurmethodprovidedinthe CV2library.

d. NEURALNETWORKARCHITECTURE

The entire network is implemented and trained using KerasandTensorFlowasbackends.Theneuralnetwork architecture I used is based on a paper published by NVIDIA and is designed to map raw pixels to control commands.The network consists of9layers,including a normalization layer, 5 convolution layers, and 3 fully connected layers. The image is normalized with a normalization layer. According to the paper, performing normalization on the network allows the normalization scheme to be tailored to the network architecture and acceleratedbyGPUprocessing.

The last two layers of convolution are obtained by strideless convolution performed on a 3x3 kernel. Convolutional layers are followed by three fully connected layers to give output control values. The model is implemented in Keras with Tensorflow as the backend. The final model architecture is shown in the imagebelow.

This article presents a comparisonofthe convolutional neural network architecture and a small set of parameters that can solve these problems. The resulting network had 3 layers of convolutions and a total of 26,000 parameters. It is possible to avoid overfitting, but had highvariability because there wasa small set of modeled data for. For example, we reduced the number of parameters and the memory used by neural networks by an orderof magnitude compared to other popular architectures, results show that these networksyieldhighresults,aremodifiableandcomplex.
