Is it autonomous or does it need a driver?

Yeah AUSA conventions are the bomb you really have to go to one if you find one near you. I have been to the one in DC a number of times and I always see amazing stuff and meet a lot of good contacts from industry.

Kenny if you have any pictures from your trip please post some good ones.

Unfortunately I have no other pictures since it is a prototype and I am currently deployed. You can join the AUSA and you get free admission or go as a guest of one of the Soldiers you know. If you go in uniform you get in free too. I am a life member of it because they do a lot to help the Army stay on the top of it's game.

Looks dumb to me. I like the old Mule, even if it didn't have a cool acronym.
