Students Hack Ford Mustang for Research

Northeastern University students utilize a modified Ford Mustang Mach-E equipped with cameras, LiDAR, and radar to collect autonomous driving data. Professor Xian Li leads the team, aiming to upgrade the vehicle's Level 2 system to Level 3 capabilities by integrating custom algorithms. The project gathers 10 gigabytes of data per minute to train navigation systems for real-world environments.
