Robot cars?

This contest will be fascinating…the entrants’ robot cars will have to complete a grueling course.

The 250-mile course–which won’t be completely revealed until two hours before the start–will require the computerized vehicles to drive through or around sand, mud, boulders, ditches, barbed wire, mountains and at least one overpass where onboard GPS (Global Positioning System) navigation setups won’t work. Except to send commands for an emergency stop and restart, humans can’t interfere–the cars must drive themselves.
