FONTANA, California (AP) -- A driverless red Hummer snagged the pole position Wednesday in a government-sponsored sequel race across the Mojave Desert that will pit 23 robots against one another. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Five of the vehicles finished it four consecutive times. Those included H1ghlander; a converted Humvee Sandstorm; a modified Volkswagen Touareg by Stanford University; a six-wheel truck; and a Jeep Grand Cherokee. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
how long was the race, ten meters?

DARPA, the Pentagon's research and development arm, spent $9 million on this year's event. The agency would award the prize to the first team whose computer-driven vehicle can traverse a rough and winding desert course of up to 175 miles in less than 10 hours.

Probably a lot safer to be on the same road with one of them than some of the cars with drivers in them around here :1orglaugh
I used to love watching that Robot Wars show on TechTV. |
