| Stanford robot car "Junior" in action, DARPA Urban Challenge - 331 sec 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.

| Continental at the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge - 404 sec The Carnegie Mellon University Tartan Racing team's quest to conquer the 2007 Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency(DARPA) Urban Challenge is powered by a sophisticated array of electronic sensors provided by Continental Automotive Systems. The sensor technology is designed to provide "Boss" with a precise picture of the driving environment as it navigates, parks and handles traffic over a 60-mile course at the former George Air Force Base in Victorville, Calif.
