The Year 1 CAVs Presentation is designed to evaluate the effectiveness with which the team completed the CAV activities throughout the year. CAV teams in Year 1 should be focused on sensing system design and simulation, computing hardware selection, sensor fusion algorithm testing, basic longitudinal control and mule vehicle sensor data collection using sensor hardware. The presentation itself will focus on several aspects of these activities: hardware system design, sensor fusion algorithm development, and software development workflow and processes.
