Year of Invention at the Peoria Riverfront Museum
AutonomouStuff is thrilled to participate in the Peoria Riverfront Museum’s Year of Invention alongside the exhibition of Da Vinci The Genius, which vividly illustrates the power and perseverance of the same type of visionary ingenuity we strive to embody.
Our Nissan Xterra on display is historic in its own right — having competed in the 2005 and 2007 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Urban Challenge events, which accelerated development of the autonomy industry. The 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge at the former George Air Force Base in Victorville, California, marked a significant milestone for autonomous mobility: the first time autonomous vehicles interacted with both manned and unmanned vehicle traffic in an urban environment.
