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 andgoods. 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. It will use a variety of sensors including a GPS, magnetometer, LIDAR, ultrasonics, etc.
