DARPA Urban Challenge 2007
By Mike | November 5, 2007
Carnegie Mellon University’s Tartan Racing Team has won the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge!
While it’s cool that CMU did so well, watching the live webcast of the event was absolutely mindblowing. Several teams were knocked out during the first mission (out of three), showing just how challenging it is to program a robotic car to obey the rules of the road while avoiding static and dynamic objects. Sure, this technology is probably not going to be commercialized for quite a while, but it is nevertheless an amazing step forward in robotics.
Oh and…
Go CMU!
