Autonomous Vehicle System for Pothole Detection and Avoidance

In this rapid age of industrialization, artificial intelligence, and machine learning have played a pivotal role in achieving technological development. Autonomous Vehicles are no exception to the same. Leading companies such as Bosch, Tesla, Audi, and Toyota are working actively to improve the customer experience of autonomous vehicles on the road. Therefore, the issue of reliability over the technology and passenger safety becomes an essential issue. At the same time, the presence of potholes over roads in urban cities remains a persistent concern for the safety of road vehicles and their passengers. It thus gives rise to the need to develop technologies to ensure swift mobility of autonomous vehicles around the potholes to ensure improved customer feedback. Hence, this paper proposes a viable system based on modulating the speed and positioning of the autonomous vehicle, staying within the lane upon detecting a potential pothole in its course.
