Currently all autonomous vehicles require the use of an expensive arrayof sensors and powerful computers to navigate autonomously. The AutoCartis a golf cart that has been converted into a semi-autonomous vehicle, andwill investigate the possibility of a low-cost semi-autonomous shuttle vehiclethat navigates specific pre-defined routes on a campus.
