We are a student working group that has been developing autonomous vehicles at a 1:10 scale since August 2008. The vehicles feature road and object recognition using cameras and sensors, enabling obstacle and intersection detection, as well as parking space navigation. Both the hardware and software are continuously being improved to compete against teams from other colleges and universities.
