To Drive Is Human

While the DARPA Grand Challenge has revitalized interest in intelligent highway systems, autonomous vehicles, and sensing technology, a host of other novel issues afford interesting design and computer-engineering challenges for the future.

Carnegie Mellon University's Red Team developed innovative tests that were effective tools for measuring the driving skill of autonomous ground vehicles competing in the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge.

Unmanned ground vehicles will shape our future by providing enhanced safety and improved mobility. Four decades after researchers first developed the concept, they are still building prototypes, but they are now moving toward demonstrations, indicating ...
