This lecture overviews Autonomous Car Modeling and Control that has many applications in autonomous cars and automated driving. It covers the following topics in detail: Car Dynamic Models (Car-Body Dynamics – The Slow Dynamics, Tire Dynamics – The Fast Dynamics). Kinematic Models (System Equations, Bicycle – Car Kinematic Model). Point – Mass Models. Autonomous Vehicle Control Techniques (Model Predictive Control Law, Pure Pursuit Control Law, Stanley Control Law, Modified Sliding Mode Control Law, Kinematic Lateral Speed Control Law). Deep Autonomous Vehicle Control.
