Stanford Wins Darpa Grand Challenge

Stanford’s Stanley, A VW Toureg, proved that in the end it was the software and not the vehicle that mattered. Unofficially according to Darpa Stanford crossed the finish line in 7 hours 30 minutes over the 132 mile course.

editor: the corrected official time was 6:53 and Stanford was the official winner of the $2million prize.

At the time of this writing both Carnegie-Mellon entries were close behind, and the Terramax truck, Team Insight, and the Gray Team were far off the pace, but still on the course. All other entries were declared DNF.
