EPOD, the future of Purdue and the future of me. It stands for Electric Purdue On Demand and it's basically a two to four man autonomous vehicle that will replace a lot of the public transportation infrastructure. I'm on the manufacturing team which basically puts together the whole thing. Right now we're done up to the chassis, but I think we might have to remodel the whole thing since the steering motor is very hard to access. That's my opinion.
Anyways, this thing is the way of the future, not only Purdue. Although it would be pretty hard to implement this on a non-campus environment, I think we're on to something big here.
Going to be unveiled at the 2012 Super Bowl.
