Autonomous Testing

Initial autonomous test runs were held at a farm located in Culpeper, VA. These tests allowed us to see how the Meteor responded to various types of terrain and elevation grades. Modifications made to the Meteor included a custom built lift kit, off-road tires, and autonomous vehicle controls. As a result of these test runs, we were able to log dozens of miles of autonomous driving.
