Penn State Student Researchers Demo Self-Driving Vehicle with President Neeli Bendapudi

Penn State President Neeli Bendapudi hopped into a self-driving car with engineering faculty and student researchers to cruise the Larson Transportation Institute Test Track with the Penn State College of Engineering. The van navigated itself thanks to Penn State student research that is helping to guide the future of transportation. 
Bendapudi, Andrew Read, senior vice president for research, and Tonya Peeples, the Harold and Inge Marcus Dean of Engineering, along with Xianbiao (XB) Hu, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering, and graduate students Yuxin Ding and Chenxi Chen ride along for this self-driving vehicle demo.
The test track, one of only 10 autonomous vehicle proving grounds in the nation, allows researchers to develop and test their innovations near the University Park campus.

EVERYONE in the vehicle should be wearing a seat belt. Even at 30 mph, it's not safe to be unbelted. #WeAre
