Check out what they're experimenting with, using an Ironman VX! I think a driverless car would be much safer than a car with a texting teenager, drinking Starbucks and applying makeup:

Sounds like it was wildly successful in its autonomy. From that thread:Originally Posted by yellowgizmo99
Somebody should totally call that company and ask to buy the cross bars.Some of you may have seen the NOVA special about the Great Robot Race:

Yes, that's our VX in the amusing section... the VX detects the parked car and picks the wrong side (left) quickly slamming on the brakes in a panic to avoid the concrete barrier. That was at the qualifying event in the semi-finals... we didn't make it to the race.

In previous DARPA competitions, they had LADARs mounted up there for terrain mapping so I don't think they'll be willing to sell them.Somebody should totally call that company and ask to buy the cross bars.

The nice thing about the DARPA VX is everything they added is removable and all original parts were saved so the VX can be returned to its original state.
