| Robot Race: DARPA Urban Challenge |
 |
The Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency, known as DARPA, offered 3.5 million
in prize money to the robot building teams
who could build the safest and most precise
autonomous robotic land vehicles. The 60 mile
course set in an urban environment, had 50
"traffic" vehicles driven by stunt drivers,
four-way intersections, blocked roads,
sections of unmarked pavement, and other
robots simultaneously running. The robots
were also required to obey all the traffic
laws of the State of California.
35 teams arrived to the qualifying event just
prior to the Urban Challenge. There were 20
slots allotted to start in the Urban
Challenge, but that was not the number to
qualify. By the middle of the first mission
of three, as vehicles began to drop from the
running, there were rising doubts that any
'bot would finish.

| Stanford robot car "Junior" in action, DARPA Urban Challenge |
 |
Yesterday, a Volkswagen Passat drove around a
parking lot in Mountain View, CA, made
three-point turns, and followed the rules at
a four-way stop--all without human
intervention. The computer-controlled car is
named Junior, and it's Stanford University's
official entry in the DARPA Urban Challenge,
a race in which an autonomous car must
navigate city streets, obey traffic laws,
avoid obstructions, and, crucially, drive
well among other cars in traffic. This test
run is Junior's first public appearance,
designed to let DARPA (the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency) test the car and
determine if it proceeds to the next round in
the Urban Challenge.
