DARPA Grand Challenge 2004

This video shows our autonomous truck going through qualification tests for DARPA Grand Challenge 2004 in Nevada. OSU researchers designed and implemented the autonomous (driverless) navigation systems of the vehicle. In this particular video, there are no people on board, and the vehicle can be seen driving down the off-road track, sensing the bushes blocking its path, and deciding to swerve around the bushes without any human intervention.
