AutoCart

Autonomous vehicle technology is the future of transportation because it will allow the movement of people and goods without the need for human drivers. This will lead to an increase in the speed and transportation of people and goods. Currently all autonomous vehicles require the use of an expensive array of sensors and powerful computers to navigate autonomously. The AutoCart is a golf cart that has been converted into a semi-autonomous vehicle, and will investigate the possibility of a low-cost semi-autonomous shuttle vehicle that navigates specific pre-defined routes on a campus. It will use a variety of sensors including a GPS, magnetometer, LIDAR, ultrasonics, etc.
