Grand Challenge II - Unmaned vehicle race
Saw an interesting show on PBS last night. Unmanned vehicle race out in the desert. 1 team had 2 entries - both H1's. They came in second and third. Winner had a VW with a different approach to using video cameras instead of lasers to "see" where to go.
There was also a ...forgive me I'm not a military guy, one of those army 3 axel (2 rear) big troop carrier (and other stuff) trucks entered. Called Duramax I think, as well as a motorcycle. Yes, unmanned motorcycle!
