Thrun Lecture on the Darpa Grand Challenge and Stanley

Have you heard the one about the Volkswagen that drove itself, won the Darpa Grand Challenge, shone at the Detroit International Auto Show, and was awarded editor’s choice in Engadget’s Robot-of-the-Year contest? Of course we mean Stanley, built by Sebastian Thrun’s team at Stanford.

For those lucky enough to be within driving distance to Stanford’s campus, Thrun is giving a presentation this Thursday on Darpa and Stanley. It is open to the public and there is no admission fee. Should be quite the talk!
