  • Hm...

    Average speed of 19 mph... thats still pretty slow, even for that terrain. I'm pretty sure even a car such as my Saturn could beat that, with a human driving. Still a very good video, there is another video which shows the winner in action with a driver on this site, I can't remember the name.

    • Of course.

      At todays level of technology, a human driver will always beat a robot. Its impressive because the whole thing was automated. Servos and computers drove the car from start to end. At an average speed of 19mph on dangerous terrain (for a robot), it really is impressive.

      I was just pointing out that robotic vehicles such as this one are still years from mass production. Although the level of technology and the time and dedication that the people put into this project is very impressive, human drivers and workers still are our most valuable resource.
