This paper develops and summarizes the work of building the autonomous integrated system including perception system and vehicle dynamic controller for a formula student autonomous racecar. We propose a system framework combining X-by-wired modification, perception & motion planning and vehicle dynamic control as a template of FSAC racecar which can be easily replicated. A LIDAR-vision cooperating method of detecting traffic cone which is used as track mark is proposed. Detection algorithm of the racecar also implements a precise and high rate localization method which combines the GPS-INS data and LIDAR odometry. Besides, a track map including the location and color information of the cones is built simultaneously. Finally, the system and vehicle performance on a closed loop track is tested. This paper also briefly introduces the Formula Student Autonomous Competition (FSAC).
