Die Roboter
DARPA's current contest, which will be this Saturday (and may or may not produce a winner), is to build a fully robotic vehicle to travel a set route, entirely without human guidance. It's a pretty cool concept, and while DARPA's goals are not necessarily the kind I like, it will lead to good things (automatic cars, for instance). The vision of robot armies taking over, however, is not a pretty one.
