NYU Self Drive (GY)
-
Aiming to revolutionize the autonomous industry by researching, designing and prototyping self driving cars
NYU Self-Drive is in its 4th year of existence as a competition-based student lead team that pursues learning and innovation in the Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Vehicle space. Through competition based learning, with mechanical/computer engineering aspects, the team seeks to provide a platform for members to familiarize themselves with industry leading software and hardware to maximize experiential learning beyond the classroom.
A lot of work in this industry is done on cars especially developed for self-driving purpose but we have been able to learn and modify the mechanism to transform a golf-cart, little beetle into a machine built for autonomy. The most exciting aspect in our field is that there is no industry standard for self-driving cars. We are at a breakthrough point where we come up with unique ideas and execute them accordingly to form a product that can revolutionize the automotive industry.
