A modular vehicle subassembly includes a frame assembly with wheels and a steering system configured to steer at least one of the wheels and change a course of direction of the frame assembly. A propulsion system configured to drive at least one of the wheels and move the frame assembly in at least one of a forward direction and a backward direction is included. At least one transient data sensor, an onboard controller, and an onboard communications link are included and the least one transient data sensor is coupled is configured to detect and transmit transient data. The onboard controller is configured to receive the transient data from the at least one transient data sensor, direct the steering system and the propulsion system such that the frame assembly moves along a predefined path through a flexible modular platform facility.
