ABSTRACT: An autonomous driving system is a complex combination of various components that can be defined as systems, in which the perception, decision-making and operation of the car is performed by electronic devices and machines instead of human drivers. In this thesis, we focused on the perception module. In particular, we carried out the design and validation of a VRTK sensor that combines information from cameras and GPS antennas with RTK technology. This makes it possible to achieve a localization with centimetre accuracy of the car. The validation of this sensor was carried out by real test on a scaled vehicle.
