DARPA Grand Challenge: Self-Driving Cars Begin

DARPA offered $1M for an autonomous vehicle to complete a 150-mile desert course. In 2004, no vehicle finished — the best went 7.4 miles. In 2005, Stanford's 'Stanley' (led by Sebastian Thrun) won by completing the course in under 7 hours. The 2007 Urban Challenge tested autonomous driving in traffic.
