Abstract
A vehicle control system for driving a vehicle toward a source while avoiding an obstacle includes a first sensor to measure a first intensity of a source signal from the source, a second sensor to detect an obstacle and a second vehicle. The system includes an interface to receive data of a second intensity of the source signal measured by the second vehicle and transmit the data of the first and second intensities via a wireless channel, a memory to store the data of the first and second intensities, an autonomous program, a leader algorithm and a follower algorithm for autonomously driving the vehicle, a processor to select and perform one of the leader algorithm and the follower algorithm and generate control signals, and a machinery control circuit to drive a machinery of the vehicle according the control signals.
