Re: Alice Goes Four Wheelin' (Autonomously)
A bunch of us trekked out from Caltech to see the show as spectators. I thought it was a really incredible experience, and definitely worth the drive. It was wonderful to see car after car after car make its way from the starting line off to the horizon. It was even more exciting to watch Alice's dust cloud make its way back toward us for the photo-opp pass near the 8-mile mark. I don't think anyone in the stands would have imagined Alice suddenly turning off road right there in front of us-- it was a tragic thing to watch. The crash story as related above jives with what the speculation was at the time of the incident, but we didn't hang around to get anything in the way of a debriefing from the team after their inspection of the vehicle.
