The NY Times has this article detailing this first step towards winning the Grand Challenge."

    Popular Science has a great article in the March 2004 edition (online here at PopSci.com) called "Clash of the Headless Humvees".

    Weird title, seeing how they showcase the CMU entry, a high-school entry running in an Acura (donated by a parent who works for Honda) and a single-member "team" trying to do a motorcycle entry.
