billdar writes "Terrasoft Solutions posted an article on their development of a stereo vision object detection system built upon Sony's PS3 for Axion Racing's entry into the DARPA Urban Challenge.

The whole system was developed and integrated onto the vehicle in ten days. So far, Spirit has been making the competition's highlight reels."
