| 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.

| The Stanford Prison Experiment pt. 2 of 3 |
 |
The Stanford prison experiment was ostensibly
a psychological study of human responses to
captivity and its behavioral effects on both
authorities and inmates in prison. It was
conducted in 1971 by a team of researchers
led by Philip Zimbardo of Stanford
University. Undergraduate volunteers played
the roles of both guards and prisoners living
in a mock prison in the basement of the
Stanford psychology building.
Prisoners and guards rapidly adapted to their
roles, stepping beyond the boundaries of what
had been predicted and leading to dangerous
and psychologically damaging situations.
One-third of the guards were judged to have
exhibited "genuine" sadistic tendencies,
while many prisoners were emotionally
traumatized and two had to be removed from
the experiment early.
Ethical concerns surrounding the famous
experiment often draw comparisons to the
Milgram experiment, which was conducted in
1961 at Yale University by Stanley Milgram,
Zimbardo's former high school friend.
Tom Peters and Robert H. Waterman Jr wrote in
1981 that the Milgram Experiment in the 1960s
and the later Zimbardo Experiment were
frightening in their implications about the
danger which lurks in the darker side of
human nature.
