Stanford University claimed the $2 million first prize in the Pentagons
driverless vehicle challenge Sunday. The diesel-powered Volkswagon Toureg R5
completed the two-day, 131.6 mile course in the Mojave Desert in six hours
and 53 minutes.
Nicknamed Stanley, the Stanford vehicle averaged 19.1 miles per hour,
finishing almost 11 minutes ahead of a Carnie Mellon tricked-out Humvee.
Sponsored by the Pentagons Defense Advanced Research Project Agency
(DARPA), the race is designed to promote driverless off-road vehicles. The
Pentagon eventually hopes to deploy driverless vehicles in the field by
2015.

Stanfords Volkswagon SUV is modified with full-body skid plates and
reinforced front bumper. Volkswagon of Americas Electronic Research Lab
developed a drive-by-wire system for the car. All on-board processing takes
place through seven Pentium M computers.
While in motion, the vehicle is loaded with GPS, four laser range finders,
radar, a monocular vision system and a pair of stereo cameras.

no vehicles finished the race.
Finishing behind the Stanford and Carnegie Mellon vehicles were a customized
Hummer and a Ford Escape Hybrid. A 16-ton truck completed the course, but

The Stanford team began preparing for the race in May with qualifying rounds beginning in September. In its qualifying round, the Stanford robot avoided all obstacles and successfully passed all gates.
San Francisco-based Coverity provided Stanford with key technology support
for software quality and test solutions. Coverity works with telematics
companies on car navigation systems and was founded by Stanford engineering
graduates in 2002.
During the vehicles development phase, the Stanford Artificial Intelligence
Lab (SAIL) tested and analyzed Stanleys software. SAIL found 68 defects
split about evenly between custom software it had developed and software
libraries that other engineers created.
More than 30 Stanford engineering faculty and students from various schools
participated in preparing Stanley for the race. Other supporters included
staff from early stage venture capital firm MDV-Mohr, Davidow Ventures, and
sponsors Honeywell, Intel, Red Bull and Android.
