Lane detection system for autonomous vehicle using image processing techniques

A completely autonomous vehicle is one in which a computer performs all the tasks that the human driver normally would. This would mean, to go to a specific destination, a driver will just has to key in the desired destination and the system will be enabled automatically by the computer. From there,...
