  4. Vehicle Specs Power do not use external generator high output alternator for 12 V invertor for 110 AVac may use two 12 V alternators Backup; Deep Cycle Batteries panel with switch and fuse/indicators for diagnostic Computing physically modular bolt down cage accessible, sealed and weatherproof (robustness) Cooling onboard A/C Each component to be self cooled or cooled by stock A/C (ducted) Accommodation driver and >2 passengers possible extended/double/super cab Van Actuation human drivable with computers both on and off time to convert between human and autonomous must be minimal possible use of handicap actuation system the response time of the actuated system is to be as fast as human driver performance of the system must be as good as stock Cabling common physical backbone easily re-routable, modular design cable connectors. Robust and redundancy color coding of cables Mounts and arrangement component must be easily mounted/dismounted for replacement, upgrading or repair Sensor Mount accurately calibrated, efficiently and repeatably move sensor between vehicles (15 min) high frequency/amplitute damping system universal sensor mount vs individual sensor mount robust mounting cables Sensor mount to be located as far forward as possible GPS mount to be located as high as possible. GPS mount to be rigid and close to sensor mount sensor protection to be robust enough to withstand predictable impact esp for homer ability to withstand weather during pausing time make vehicle waterproof Safety do not disable stock seat , seat belt Disable-able airbags onboard fire fighting equipment Passengers wear helmets individually accessible door for each occupant E-stop to provide accommodation for E-stop system Suspension make vehicle off road capable upgrade from stock accordingly Architecture & Specifications
