Intelligent Cars
The 2007 Darpa Urban Challenge results are in. Eleven teams entered the competition with only 6 completing the race. Each robotic car had to “think like human drivers and continually make split-second decisions to avoid moving vehicles, including robotic vehicles without drivers, and operate safely on the course. The urban setting add[ed] considerable complexity to the challenge faced by the robotic vehicles, and replicat[ed] the environments where many of today’s military missions are conducted.”
