History was made this week when 3 of the 23 robotic vehicles "DARPA contestants make robotic history" completed the 132-mile race funded by the DARPA Grand Challenge. The Stanford Univerity entry won the race. DARPA sponsored and funded the $2 million prize race. The race is based on Pentagon goal of using fully automated logistics vehicles in approximately 30% of military vehicles by 2015.
Recall that DARPA funded what is known today as the internet in the 1960s. The goal back then was to create a 'survivable computer network'.
