DARPA Grand Challenge

Back when i actually used to subscribe and recieve Popular Science (now i'm subscribed but don't recieve it) they had quite a few articles about DARPA's Grand Challenge. (Click here for information about the race, and here to read more about DARPA) I learned tonight that 4 robots finished the race! This is huge news. These vehicles were completely run by computers, and they successfully navigated a desert course without human intervention. This is a huge breakthrough for the transportation industry, as well as the military.
It's happy news to me.
