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.

Almost like it was driving itself, the Meteor takes off for many of its successful "field test" runs.
