In this video interview we have Amanda Emnett from the University of Tulsa give us a tour of the vehicle her team worked on for the Challenge X competition. The "brain" of the vehicle control system is powered by a Compact RIO Real-Time FPGA system that was programmed with LabVIEW.

Challenge X is a three year national competition that started in 2004. It's sponsored by General Motors and the US Department of Energy. The objective is to take a GM Chevy Equinox and modify the vehicle to minimize emissions and consumption, without sacrificing utility and performance. Now in its final year, the focus is on delivering a "showroom" vehicle that addresses the requirements of consumers.
