With 2-day home delivery of parts and a wealth of how-to YouTube videos, genius is being created in garages across the US. The idea of building a self-driving car at home would’ve been unthinkable just 10 years ago, but founder Shane, a former Ford engineer, decided he needed a project to keep busy during the pandemic. He enlisted his kids to build one in his Canton, Michigan garage in just 100 days. By day 9 they had already created a drivable vehicle. Now, they’re building a flying ATV. Here’s the hidden technology making these DIY projects possible. NiFT documented their 100-Day DIY AV journey here on YouTube.
