1 Design a fiizzy logic controller for a self-driving vehicle shown in Figure l. It is. desired
that the motor speed of the vehicle increase when it approaches a steep road as well as
when the total weight of people in the car is high. Consider that the steep plane varies from
0 to 70 degrees, total weight of the car varies from 2000 to 3000 kg, and the motor speed
varies from 0 to 200 rpm. Also, calculate the crisp output for motor speed for a particular
weight and inclination angle.
