One day, driverless cars will dominate our streets and highways. Although the sensory information and control algorithms will be located in the car itself, we will have the ability (and it will possibly be a legislative requirement) to control the cars from elsewhere. Controlling driverless cars will require sensory information from the car to be sent to a control station in the form of speed, GPS location, and so on. Conversely, information from the control station will be sent to the car in the form of traffic and directions.
In this chapter, we will explore both the sending of sensory information from T.A.R.A.S and the receiving of control information by T.A.R.A.S.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Reading the robot car's data from the cloud
- Using a Python program to control a robot car through the cloud...
