A Survey of Self-driving Urban Vehicles Development

The purpose of this paper is to conduct a literature survey on the research of self-driving car which operating in an urban environment. The chosen literature is the literature published since the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge (DUC) competition and fulfills the criteria of autonomous vehicle level 3 or higher based on the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). In addition to using sources from scientific publications, this survey also carried out through websites of companies that develop self-driving car as well as through news published on various media. This is because not all commercial companies publish the results of their research through scientific papers. The results of this survey are a comparison of the main technologies used in the existing self-driving car systems, as well as comparing the advantages and disadvantages of each of these technologies. The conclusion can help researchers find the latest information about self-driving car technology and find a direction of research in the field of self-driving car.
