Carlos Asuncion: Autonomous Vehicle Sensor Selection

Carlos Asuncion of UC Berkeley participated in the Cat Vehicle 2014 REU at the University of Arizona. Focusing on how autonomous vehicles might impact the future was a key part of his summer experience.

Rachel Powers: Selecting Sensors for Autonomous Vehicles

Rachel Powers of the University of Arizona participated in the Cat Vehicle 2014 REU at the University of Arizona. In this video she describes her project, and how the cost of the sensors on top of these vehicles can be reduced. She was a rising senior in Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Carlos Asuncion Interviewed on Arizona Horizon in Phoenix

Today's cars are getting more and more sophisticated in their behaviors, but true autonomy needs truly expensive sensors. Carlos Asuncion of UC Berkeley participated in the CAT Vehicle program in 2014, and he was interviewed by Ted Simons for the Arizona Horizon program on PBS 8 (KAET) in Phoenix, AZ.

Do you really need that $80,000 sensor to drive your autonomous car? How cheap can you go?

Driverless Car Hits the Road

On Tuesday, August 8, 2014, students from across the nation participating in a College of Engineering research program capped off the summer by taking the UA’s driverless car for a spin.
