An Anonymous Reader writes "DARPA has released the details of a 'Grand Challenge,' with a $1 million prize. The challenge is to build an autonomous vehicle which can 'navigate on its own over a 250-mile desert course in less than 10 hours.' from L.A. to Vegas, 'without external communication or human control.' The contest is to be conducted in March 2004, and is open to all comers. Can we get at least one entry to represent slashdot?"

Mr Goat uses robot cars already. Here's a pic. Contact Mr Goat if you would like your car's exhaust pipe stretched to unearthly proportions. He will also install an AI system and teach it to drive.
