In this study, we developed an unmanned car which communicates with a computer via wireless equipment. Hardware consists of two communication modules - one at the car side and the other at the computer side - and a control module at the car side. This "smart car" can move from the current point to a desired destination point by itself using the maps drawn by the GUI of the software or using other maps prepared using a compatible format. Before the movement of the car starts, it tries to find the shortest possible path between the current point and the desired point. If unexpected obstacles found on the way of the car, it passes by the obstacle without failure by the help of the sensor mounted on the car. As a result of the study, when we improved the motion model of the car, it goes to the destination point with less step which means less movement time. When we change the search algorithm, it is observed that system gives more accurate results. Finally, we can say that, the unmanned model car is operating successfully without error, and can be improved for a real car that goes at streets.
