Mac OS X Drives Grand Challenge Entry

Posted by Zonk on from the apples-for-brains dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "Apple technology drives a new fully-autonomous vehicle developed for a major U.S. competition. From the article: 'Team Banzai is one of just 40 teams selected from 118 entrants from around North America to have made it through to the semi-finals of the 2005 DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) Grand Challenge.'"

    Funny that you people like you wouldn't say anything if the thing ran FreeBSD. Just because you don't run OSX, don't care about Apple or anything related, doesn't mean other people don't. I admit some of the /. Apple stories are crap, but this one is good. If you have a problem with Apple stories on /., go to your prefrences and turn 'em off. Slashdot wasn't made specifically for you. God I hate "How is this news for nerds?" posts. /.'s new slogan should be "News, and if you disagree then shut the fuck up because its free"

    OSX is more than Aqua. It's based of the BSD kernel, and you can run said kernel by itself, without Aqua. Why the hell would they include Aqua in the car? (Unless there somekind of embedded computer display or soemthing)

    Okay, so one of the machines uses OSX. What do the others use? If this machine had won, it would be a diffrent story, but here all we see is that it one particular machine runs OSX. Who cares? God slashdot sucks these days.
