Inside DARPA's Robot Race 135
Belfegor writes "The PBS series Nova has a great feature on their website, regarding the coverage of the DARPA-sponsored 'Robot Race' in which driverless vehicles 'competed' in a 130-mile race across the Mojave Desert. The full show is available on the website, and besides that they have plenty more information about the robotics behind the challenge, and also some pretty cool out-takes from the show."

Great show but...Patents bad. (Score:0, Funny)
But, but. Software patents are bad. Now I'm confused.

Let me guess; in the end it was a close shave and the tortoise only won by a whisker? ;)

Do you scream and give it the finger?
Throw rocks at it?
Run it off the road?
Launch a homing missile at it?
Any way around it, driverless vehicles will have no rights in our future society!
Who will speak up for the robots?
