HISTORY

MATLAB (short for "matrix laboratory") is a programming language and software environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. The history of MATLAB can be traced back to the 1970s, when it was developed by Cleve Moler at the University of New Mexico.

In the early 1970s, Moler was working on a project to develop a software package for solving linear algebra problems, and he realized that the existing programming languages of the time were not well-suited for this task. He decided to create a new programming environment specifically designed for matrix computations, and he called it "MATLAB"

The first version of MATLAB was released in 1975, and it was primarily used by researchers and engineers in the fields of science and engineering. However, the popularity of MATLAB quickly grew, and it quickly became a popular tool for a wide range of applications, such as data analysis, signal processing, and control systems.

In the 1980s, MathWorks was founded to commercialize MATLAB and related products. In the 1990s, MATLAB has became widely adopted in industry, education and research institutions. In the 2000s, it expanded to include more toolboxes and libraries, and introduced new features such as the ability to interface with other programming languages and tools, and to run on multiple platforms.

Today, MATLAB is widely used in a variety of fields, including engineering, science, economics, and finance, and it continues to be developed and improved by MathWorks

MATLAB has played a significant role in the development of self-driving cars. It has been used as a tool for prototyping, testing, and validating various algorithms and systems that are used in self-driving cars.

In the early days of self-driving car research, MATLAB was used as a tool for simulating and testing control algorithms for vehicle dynamics, path planning, and control. Researchers and engineers used MATLAB to develop and test various algorithms, such as model predictive control, sliding mode control, and nonlinear control, which are used to control the motion of the vehicle.

As the field of self-driving cars has evolved, MATLAB has been used in increasingly sophisticated ways. For example, it is used to process sensor data from cameras, LIDAR, and radar, to detect and track objects in the environment. Additionally, it is used to simulate and test perception, localization, and mapping algorithms, which are used to understand the vehicle's surroundings.

In recent years, MATLAB has also been used to develop and test machine learning algorithms for self-driving cars, such as deep neural networks, which are used for tasks such as object detection, semantic segmentation, and motion prediction. Many companies, research institutions and universities use MATLAB to develop, test, and validate their self-driving car algorithms.

Additionally, MathWorks, the company behind MATLAB, provides a number of toolboxes and libraries that are specifically designed for the development of self-driving cars, such as the Automated Driving Toolbox, which provides a set of tools for sensor fusion, perception, control, and simulation, and the Robotics System Toolbox, which provides tools for perception, control, and navigation.
