Project Summary

Project Information
|
|
In order to increase roadway safety autonomous
vehicles are under development and are the focus of
many research projects. The Rochester Institute of
Technology wishes to have a re-entry point to the
field of autonomous vehicle research and currently
does not have a vehicle to use as a starting point.
To facilitate RIT’s goal a remote control
golf cart was determined to be the first stepping
stone.
The scope of this project includes converting a
golf cart to a remote control vehicle. The safety
of the vehicle’s passengers and bystanders is
of the utmost concern. Therefore the vehicle is
required to be low speed and contain the ability
for passengers to take control.

Readiness Package.
