PBS LINK DARPA Grand Challenge
The DARPA Grand Challenge is a prize competition for American driverless vehicles, funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the most prominent research organization of the United States Department of Defense. Congress
has authorized DARPA to award cash prizes to further DARPA's mission to
sponsor revolutionary, high-payoff research that bridges the gap
between fundamental discoveries and military use. The initial DARPA
Grand Challenge was created to spur the development of technologies
needed to create the first fully autonomous ground vehicles capable of completing a substantial off-road course within a limited time. The third event, the DARPA Urban Challenge extended the initial Challenge to autonomous operation in a mock urban environment. The most recent Challenge, the 2012 DARPA Robotics Challenge, will focus on autonomous emergency-maintenance robots. Wiki
