Sure would be fun to design a vehicle and run it in this. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) intends to conduct a race of autonomous ground vehicles (see �Technical Details� for a definition) from the vicinity of Los Angeles, CA to Las Vegas, NV in 2004. A cash prize will be awarded to the winner. The course will feature both on-road and off-road portions and will include extremely rugged, challenging terrain and obstacles. The purpose of the race is to stimulate interest in and encourage the accelerated development of autonomous ground vehicle technologies that could be used by the US military. http://www.darpa.mil/grandchallenge/rules.htm |

WOW that sounds cool. If only I had a bit of $$ and free time... I might go watch though, if spectators are allowed. It would be really cool to see some of the entries. |
