A system that performs a method is disclosed. The system receives a current vehicle position from a position sensor. The system autonomously navigates a vehicle along a stored navigational path based on a comparison between the current vehicle position and one or more of a plurality of waypoints associated with the stored navigational path. While autonomously navigating the vehicle along the stored navigational path, the system determines, using the proximity sensor, whether an obstacle is present proximate to the vehicle. In accordance with a determination that the obstacle is present proximate to the vehicle, the system halts the autonomous navigation of the vehicle. In some examples, the position sensor includes a global positioning system receiver and the proximity sensor is an ultrasonic proximity sensor.
