Notes on autonomous driving

Building blocks

• Radar and Lidar
• Localization
• Sensor fusion

Levels of autonomous driving

• Nice way to visualize L1-L5 from NXP. ADAS for L1-L2, and autonomous driving for L3-L5.

• Comparison of different sensors. OEM and tier-1 are asking for more resolution from radars for L3, L4 autonomous driving.

• Automotive supply chain explained. Manufactures are OEMs. Direct part suppliers are tier-1.

sensor setup

• Voyage
• Tesla

New ideas

• Reconstruct high resolution radar image from lidar
• Reconstruct higher resolution model of the world with radar (or low cost one-line lidar) and high resolution RGB image
