Our March 23rd Autonomous Vehicle Technology Demonstration was so sucessful, we have decided to host another one! We are inviting media organizations, all of our sponsors and the greater PAVE community to attend another technology demo on Friday, March 30.

Many thanks to Don Polec at ABC Action News 6, in Philadelphia, for running a segment about us on their nightly news:

Despite rain all during the afternoon of the 23rd, we presented our Ford Escape driving fully autonomously for the first time. This successful system integration readies us to continue development of our sensing and navigation systems. Our upcoming demo on the 30th will demonstrate autonomous navigation using a combination of GPS and our own visual lane-detection system.

Finally, we would like to announce that PAVE will be hosting a study break in conjunction with the IEEE-Princeton Chapter on Friday, March 30 at 4:30pm. Join us to learn more about our project and enjoy FREE hoagies, from Hoagie Haven.

Our recent Dedication Ceremony garnered quite a bit of press attention. We were covered in articles in The Trenton Times and The Newark Star-Ledger. In addition, we were featured in a broadcast of the NJN Nightly News.

Over the past few weeks we have been making excellent progress and we are beginning the hardware and software integration process that will allow our vehicle to perform all of the autonomous capabilities required for the April 13 Video Submission deadline.

We will be holding a demonstration of our autonomous systems on Friday, March 23. This event will be held at our testing facilities on the Forrestal Campus Annex of Princeton University. This event is open to the public, and we invite anyone who is interested to stop by. The invitation to this event can be found here.
