DARPA Grand Challenge Updates

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the coming-right-up dept.

GraffitiKnight writes "After only 1 team managed to successfully navigate the DARPA Qualifying course, DARPA has rewritten the rules to let almost everyone compete. Wired has the story, which also mentions rumors that the race will run to 150 miles, much less than the original plans of 210 - 300 miles." Here is some earlier Slashdot coverage of the race.

    What/who is DARPA and why and I interested in them, and hence should I be interested in this story?
