Abstract
A self-driving car is an autonomous vehicle capable of fulfilling the main transportation capabilities of a traditional car. It must be capable of sensing its environment and navigating without human input. In this paper, we design the agent that can simulate these self-driving cars and develop a prototype for it. To do this, we analyze the requirements for the self-driving car, and then the agent is designed to be suitable for traditional multi-agent system. The key point of the design is that agents move along the steering forces only. The prototype of the designed agent was implemented by using Unity 3D. From simulation results using the prototype, movements of the agents were very realistic. However, in the case of increasing the number of the agent the performance was seriously degraded, and so the alternatives of the problem were suggested.
