Abstract :
Recently autonomous cars are being in demand to launch into the market for safety and luxury. Autonomous car is an interesting area of research for Engineers and Researchers. Running an automated car on the road in real-time requires several factors to consider. Among them detecting the nature and type of the road is one major aspect. For different types of road surfaces, the control of speed, acceleration, break etc are required to adjust in a proper manner. This paper gives a very cost effective and efficient way of designing a surface identifier for fully autonomous cars. Using the surface identification module the car can identify the surface just in front of it and accordingly it can adjust its speed to move safely.
