DARPA has already stated this course could be driven by a human in a jeep or 4WD pickup (although your kidneys might get bruised at the speed requied through the desert)
so why are people trying to design new vehicles - frames, engines - solar powered?!?! this is not a contest to see who can make a vehicle that can go from LA to Vegas - we already have hundreds of vehicles right now that can easily do it. The 'trick' is to make the vehicle drive there all by itself! this contest is about auto-navigation - piece of cake in an aircraft or sailboat - pretty challenging in the desert or on a two lane dirt road. THAT is where the contest will be won or lost: 1. Naviagtion 2. Navigation 3. Navigation there is no reason to 're-invent the jeep' |
