The Autotron Unit and Tour Vehicle were completed in May of 2005 during a one-month residency at the Center for Land Use Interpretation’s Research Facility in Wendover, Utah. The Autotron Tour Vehicle is a 4-wheeled, 6 person pedal-driven vehicle. Designed to support a GPS guided media tour of the Wendover area, the vehicle is equipped with a small computer and LCD monitor. Visitors to the CLUI facility in Wendover may check out the ATV at anytime.

The Autotron Unit is the support structure and housing for the Autoron Tour Vehicle. The structure was built on site using primarily found and recycled materials. The AU’s walls and floor are constructed out of recycled pallets retrieved from area casinos. The Unit supports a spring-loaded door for the easy entrance and exit of the ATV and is outfitted with a solar-based power platform that keeps the Autotron Tour Vehicle continually charged and ready for action.
