Autonomous driving system based on electronic map and electronic compass

Abstract

An autonomous driving system has an information processor configured to process information based on an electronic map and a digital compass and to program a vehicle. The autonomous driving system enables cruise, braking at the curves and lane changing thereof, by generating control information for a steering control system, a brake control system and an engine control system in the vehicle, based on input information about a destination, the electronic map calculates the most reasonable path by taking into account the total path length, the number of curves and radii of the curves, moreover, vehicle location information from a navigation system in the vehicle and vehicle orientation information from the digital compass are processed, at the same time, an inter-vehicular local area network (LAN) is established between vehicles.
