A survey of technical trend of ADAS and autonomous driving

For past 10 years Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) has rapidly grown. Recently not only luxury cars but some entry level cars are equipped with ADAS applications, such as Automated Emergency Braking System (AEBS). The European New Car Assessment Programme (EuroNCAP) announced its introduction of AEBS test from 2014, which will accelerate the penetration of ADAS in Europe. Also DARPA challenge started from 2004 accelerated the research for autonomous driving. Several OEMs and universities have demonstrated autonomous driving cars. This paper gives a brief survey of technical trend of ADAS and autonomous driving focusing on algorithms actually used for autonomous driving prototype cars.
