bring autonomous shuttle
Project looks to bring autonomous shuttles to Texas A&M campus
Sri Saripalli and Swami Gopalswamy of the department of mechanical engineering have been stationed outside Kyle Field all week with several engineering students and the vehicle, which features a laser sensor, exterior cameras and speakers and a LED computer monitor propped over the steering wheel. This vehicle is the brain child of Saripalli, Gopalswamy and four graduate and undergraduate students, assisted by engineers at Virginia Tech University. It is designed to transport students from one point to another on the sidewalks and minor roadways of a campus, following a pre-drawn GPS path on continuous loop.
