GPS combined with various road / traffic sensors. VW has a system that can drive itself all the way to a hospital (or anywhere really) in city traffic. They're going to trial some of these systems in Germany this year. Because of more stringent liability laws in the US you won't see it in America any time soon though.
- nazgulnarsil 17y agouh...then why are the darpa challenge guys having so much trouble? surely darpa would just give the money to one of the big car manufacturers if this was a solved problem?
- Devilboy 17y agoThe DARPA challenge was five years ago! This is the result of advances made in those challenges. The Stanford guys have advanced so much that they'll take it on a rally track this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CuVVZq9GfY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CuVVZq9GfY
- nazgulnarsil 17y agoerm...the urban challenge was 2007.
- Devilboy 17y agoThe first DARPA challenge was in 2004. In 2005 and 2007 most of the teams easily completed the challenge so the problem is definitely 'solved' now. There's no more prize money anymore. Its over! The tech is here now.
