Abstract :
We describe a framework for designing and implementing autonomous navigation in automobiles. It integrates vehicle control, environment sensing, remote services, and navigation functions using mobile computing devices such as smartphones. We use wireless Web-service for data access and Axis2 as the SOAP engine for bounded delays in communication. A hierarchical data fusion strategy is proposed with flexible synchronization primitives for interaction among data objects. Supporting autonomous navigation using computers and sensors also takes advantage of throttle by wire instead of mechanical links, steering by wire, and brake by wire
