The roving vehicle simulator was operated autonomously under control of the simulated on-board computer. With the microwave radar obstacle sensor mounted and operating, it was able to avoid a student placed in its path and to return to the originally assigned direction when that path was clear. The tactile obstacle sensor was able to detect impassable obstacles while allowing the vehicle to negotiate passable obstacles.
