    摘要: There is provided an all-terrain amusement ride vehicle and control system. Specifically, there is provided and autonomous all-terrain amusement ride vehicle and control system therefore which is configured to use real terrain to create guest sensations. Whether indoors or outdoors, real terrain such as hills, bridges, bumpy roads, and stairs can be used to create sensations that have sustained gravitational forces (G-forces) wherein these G-forces are at least in part based on the terrain. By providing autonomous features and an overall fleet control system, guests can experience a safe operator-initiated ride but with a feeling of being in an unconstrained environment.
