GPS based Autonomous car
Hi,
I am very new to this field. My first target is to make a self driven car which only drives itself based on GPS.
I have seen some nodes in ROS which can help in moving from one point to another point in a straight line if the source and destination co-ordinates are given. To add turns, one way is to give detailed way-points and smooth out the turns. Is there any better way?
My another questions is, map provider like Google provides maps as images and uses client libraries to know and draw your location on it. How can I get the route from one source to destination, in form of a series of continuous lat-lang pair, so that I can feed it to ROS node to move the vehicle?
=> I believe, there is some better approach to do it. Please help me by giving some pointers to existing methods.
Hi, I am also working on autonomous car. As I am new to ROS, I am finding it difficult to find any means to move the car from point A to point B using GPS. As you mentioned in your first point, I guess you have atleast figured out how to move the car from one point to another. Pls let me know...
I know this question was post over a year ago but I am curious to find out why you would not use something like PolySync to do this , isn't that specifically designed for Autonomous cars?
What is PolySync?
Take a look at polysync.io , they have powerful APIs and tools for Autonomous cars , let me know if that is the case. Thx
