Abstract—Wireless communication has eased out human role as function parameter to all wireless equipment’s
life by eradicated wires jargons running around electronic onboard in the smart vehicle [8]. There used to be many
systems for extending connections. Wireless sensors have made antennas installed on roof of the vehicle to cater to serve all
human life comfortable. Self-driving cars will be the era of next above mentioned requirements due to different operating
generation vehicles. These vehicles will be housing many frequency bands [9]. There is a need of omnidirectional,
integrated sensors for taking autonomous decisions while in directional and isotropic antennas to make if smart vehicle.
