Off it goes! Computer engineering senior Lalitha Vattyam (left) holds a power cable for a remote control car while fellow senior Ben Towle activates the vehicle and team members Elizabeth Schmitt and Alex Crandall look on. On Monday afternoon in Coover Hall's senior design lab, the quartet was practicing for their capstone project presentation later in the day. CPR E 4910 (senior design project) tasks them with designing a vehicle with autonomous driving able to navigate real-life situations.
