The Gray Team finished.

I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891 -

I think that any investment in autonomous driving is worth it -- even tens of billions of dollars a year, should it be necessary. However, I don't think it will be necessary. These teams spent a small number of millions of dollars over only a couple of years to go about 19 miles an hour on average. The technology is not exotic. Lasers, radar, GPS, and video recognition.
Over 40,000 Americans die each year in car accidents and 3 million are injured. If we assume that an American's life is worth half a million dollars, then that's $20 billion in costs to society each year for just deaths alone, by virtue of the US using cars in their current configuration. If we could have our vehicles drive themselves -- let's say with an addition of WiFi to these vehicles, so that they could communicate with one another -- then these costs would probably go away in large part.Last edited by DanS; October 9, 2005, 15:38.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.

I thought an English team was doing very well or something. The BBC was crowing about that not long ago.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

I don't know. As far as the finalists for this Grand Challenge, I'm not aware of any Brit connections.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter.
