  In the last decade, research in the field of autonomous vehicles has grown
immensely, and there is a wealth of information available for researchers to
rapidly establish an autonomous vehicle platform for basic maneuvers. In this
paper, we design, implement, and test, in ten weeks, a PD approach to
longitudinal control for pedestrian emergency braking. We also propose a
lateral controller with a similar design for future testing in lane following.
Using widely available tools, we demonstrate the safety of the vehicle in
pedestrian emergency braking scenarios.
