Abstract

Self-driving cars are an area of increasing investment for researchers and auto manufacturers. Integration has already begun for such vehicles in urban environments. An essential aspect of navigation in these areas is the ability to sense and follow lane markers. This thesis focuses on the development of a self-driving, full-size, electric car which uses only a camera and lane markers to stay on the road. A complete method for automation is shown for a stock vehicle. Discussion includes reverse engineering of the steering, braking, and acceleration signals, as well as methods for lane detection and full-vehicle control.
