Autonomous Innovative Vehicle Design Challenge

Challenging students to re-engineer a “Power Wheels Jeep” into an autonomous vehicle.

Utilizing Arduino technology, GPS and sensors, Autonomous IVD vehicles must traverse a challenge course and avoid obstacles without driver assistance! Thanks to umlaut for their technical and financial support! The competition is held at our annual Innovative Vehicle Design Challenge Day.

Student teams compete at the IVD Challenge in performance, engineering and craftsmanship, design innovation, ambassadorship, and presentation categories and this year’s umlaut’s Innovation Award and scholarship program!
