Pentagon to Decide on Candidates
Three dozen semifinalists have been selected by the Pentagon to build self-driven vehicles. The robot challenge aim is to test how well cars can be robot driven safely on city streets.
This is a step towards the likes of I, Robot a film in which Will Smith portrays a futuristic cop at a time where car drives themselves. In the movie there is a nice car chasing scene where he is being hunted down and he switches to manual drive to save the day.
As long as these young scientist remember that robots are great, but the human mind is far more brilliant we shall have a cruise control switch that will drive us around like Miss Daisy, but we should be able to still maintain control of the vehicle.
Similar challenges have been done in the past, with Stanford University taking the throphy last year with their VW. This year there is a new breed of new comers who may have better technology or innovative ideas. TO learn more about the competition visit the DARPA Urban Challenge site.
