Context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navlab https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navlab >Research on computer controlled vehicles began at Carnegie Mellon in 1984 as part of the DARPA Strategic Computing Initiative and production of the first vehicle, Navlab 1, began in 1986. >Navlab 1 was built in 1986 using a Chevrolet panel van. The van had 5 racks of computer hardware, including 3 Sun workstations, video hardware and GPS receiver, and a Warp supercomputer. The vehicle suffered from software limitations and was not fully functional until the late 80s, when it achieved its top speed of 20 mph (32 km/h). I remember watching Navlab 1 crawling slowly through Schenley Park sometime in the 80's.
