DARPA Grand Challenge 2005 Rules Announced

Posted by timothy on from the and-roll-tape dept.

Mr_KnowItAll writes "Our friends at DARPA have released the proposed rules for the 2005 Grand Challenge. They learned their lesson from the first one, now they will expect teams to submit a video demonstration of their vehicle's ability to complete the course before being invited to participate. Good, but they're also advancing the timeline to the point that it will be very hard to any team to start now and hope to participate. After all the fuss at DARPA's last-minute rule changes in '04, it's interesting to see that they're offering the proposed rules for community review and feedback."

    How bout we just pipe the whole thing to /dev/bollocks because that's what happened last time.

    It's always fun to see another group of people make fools of themselves when not a single vehicle can finish the course. Video or not I doubt this next one will be any different.

  3. DARPA is not credible... by RecycledElectrons · · Score: 0, Troll

    I tried to enter the DARPA Grand Challenge, only to have a rule change that DARPA denied making rule out my entry.

    They are liars, and can not be taken seriously.

    Ok, i wuz readin the rules from one of the people and those DARPA ppl aren't very smart
    You can't just throw things at people like that!
    First, you have to do them all separately and see if anybody can even do that
    Then the remaining winners could take the "Challenge" course and see if they car can do it

    Common, duzn't anybody think of this as a good/decend idea?
