An automatic vehicle control system

摘要

An automatic vehicle control system comprises information encoded into the road surface (eg. on inserted plates or reflective tapes). A vehicle for use with the system comprises sensors configured to read the said encoded information. The said information would appear to be compared with pre-stored information held in a controller. Said controller is further configured to control the vehicle (eg. steering and speed). Provision is made for the driver to manually override the automatic control. Further disclosed is an obstacle detection sensor.
