Some parts of the processes involved in running a motor vehicle are increasingly automated, it is true, but the car still cannot see, and thus is unable to move on its own. The ideal guiding system would be independent of extra equipment along the side of the route. After preliminary experiments with multi-microprocessor-systems for image pre-processing (TV camera signals) and matching computer program, an 'experimental vehicle for autonomous mobility and computer vision' (VaMoRs). It has an on-board electricity supply, 3 computer-controllable articulations for steering, fuel supply (acceleration) and brakes. Trial runs at up to 100 km/h demonstrated the feasibility of the system. The report gives details of the vision system and assesses it by comparison to similar ones from Japan and the USA.
