The objective of this project was to create a safe, user-friendly, drive-by-wire vehicle suitable for programming and autonomous driving for future use by Dr. Justin Ruths. An existing low-speed electric vehicle was retrofit with systems for autonomy, which were selected based on our sponsor’s needs. These included an externally-controllable electronic power steering system with a manual override, linear actuators to control the brake and throttle, and LiDAR sensors and stereo cameras for environment visualization and obstacle avoidance. A Jetson TX2 was chosen and programmed as the primary control and controller area network (CAN) interfacing center of the vehicle, connected to a touchscreen monitor mounted to the dashboard to display data as desired. Each of these components has a mounting solution purchased or designed and custom-fabricated for it. A power distribution network was also designed and installed for all autonomy components, with circuit protection and actuator E-stops equipped for added safety.
