I was lucky enough to be able to take a close up look at Stanely and a lot of other DARPA vehicles. I was told that Stanely implemented an algorithm which decided which data was good, and which was bad - and thats one of the reasons theyw ere so successful. In addition, I don't recall seeing any camera on that vehicle, but 5 Lidar sensors instead, which were mounted to the top.

In fact, almost all of the DARPA vehicles used Lidar sensors. Some tried to implement other sensors as well. The only one that I can recall that I didn't see a Lidar on, but only 2 cameras, was Berkeley's Motor Cycle.
