We further tested the vehicle today and outline what we want to achieve with this vehicle.

Previous groups working on this project have been able to achieve the following:

1. Vehicle able to recognize and follow a particular color
2. Vehicle avoids wall and back out from corners

Additional goals outlined for our vehicle:

1. Start and Stop according to traffic light colors
   
2. Collision avoidance when traveling in the presence of other trucks/moving objects
   
3. Flees when in pursuit by another vehicle or chase another vehicle
