For DARPA Grand Challenge 2005, OSU researchers built a smaller off-road vehicle that is capable of navigating a desert course fully autonomously. This video shows portions of the testing done as part of the overall development, conducted at Transportation Research Center. The people in the vehicle are watching the systems and making sure the vehicle is performing within design and safety parameters, while the vehicle, named ION (Intelligent Off-road Navigator), drives itself through an off-road course with small hills and sharp curves.
