As time pass-by, technology improves and innovates with it. The newly introduced autonomous vehicles have their capability to do different actions where no human intervention is needed, such as automatic parking and crash collision avoidance. This study is all about autonomous vehicles (AV) that are capable of traveling and operating in the Philippines. The researchers aimed to determine whether an AV is apt to work in the country, given the hindrances such as traffic and various driving and road conditions. To do that, they considered past studies that relate and may help in their research, such as the use of heading reference assisted pose and controllers. In analyzing the data, they made block models of their study that considers the given circumstances such as traffic and road — for instance, a block diagram if the AV is in an undeveloped area and if the AV is at an intersection. Following the data gathered and considering the block diagrams, the students conclude that the Philippines is not yet ready for autonomous vehicles. Lastly, the researchers give suggestions that may be keys for AV to work in the Philippines. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering. All rights reserved.
