Written by the leading experts in the field - from both industry and academia - Intelligent Vehicle Technologies provides in-depth information on a range of key IV elements such as intelligent sensors, vehicle control, navigation, and communications systems.
Packed with practical examples and applications, this book focuses not only on the driver assistance concept (assisting human beings in driving the vehicle), but also on the autonomous driving/intelligent vehicle concept, which enables a vehicle to drive independently with little or no assistance from humans.
