Honda autonomous ATV could save time, money — and in disasters, even lives

Honda is bringing its latest self-driving vehicle, a rugged ATV built for use in extreme conditions and, potentially, even on the front lines of large-scale disasters, to the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas. The vehicle, called the "Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle," is based around the Japanese company's existing all-terrain vehicle, but comes fitted with a rugged drivetrain and array of sensors to help it maneuver through the most grueling conditions. Shown as a concept last year at CES, Honda has used the intervening 12 months to test the Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) in three distinct real-world settings.
