Interesting to see exactly how this R&D will be progressed to real world defence/disaster situations; undoubtedly opening-up a realm of commercial opportunities for both the US, its allies and product/IPR sales opportunities. GM's 1950s Motorama's had the vision of unmanned cars zipping around the nation's freeways, not quite there yet but such major leaps should be applauded.<br><br>Turan Ahmed - 'investment-auto-motives'<br>London]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Turan Ahmed]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2007 7:11AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GM-powered Carnegie Mellon team take first prize at DARPA]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</guid><description><![CDATA[w00t w00t go CMU!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[fannibal]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2007 8:17AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GM-powered Carnegie Mellon team take first prize at DARPA]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</guid><description><![CDATA[Love the juxtaposition of the two comments above!<br><br>This is impressive stuff, as long as they don't force me to give up my steering wheel.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shipey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2007 9:51AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GM-powered Carnegie Mellon team take first prize at DARPA]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</guid><description><![CDATA[AMEN brotha...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[technicalpatience]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 6th 2007 6:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GM-powered Carnegie Mellon team take first prize at DARPA]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</guid><description><![CDATA[Just wondering anyone know how much money they spent building the car?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[spencer]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2007 10:10AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GM-powered Carnegie Mellon team take first prize at DARPA]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</guid><description><![CDATA[In an article, I read a Florida university was using a Subaru Legacy from one of the technician stepwife or something like that. So almost a giveway vehicule. Their budget was like 150,000$US. I guess a bigger team probably has +1/2 million budget. It's part of university's normal R&D. It's hard to put money on it. I am pretty sure some teams had budgets for a half million for electronics, expenses and stuff (some get a lot of free stuff as well, car, computer, radars etc.).<br>Take into account time spent, techniciens paid on regular budgets and such. It's a multimillion budget for some of them.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[C'est Raoul]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2007 12:05PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GM-powered Carnegie Mellon team take first prize at DARPA]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</guid><description><![CDATA[all the 11 finalists were given $1 million by darpa for R&D]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[naggs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2007 1:19PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GM-powered Carnegie Mellon team take first prize at DARPA]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</guid><description><![CDATA[The top speed was limited by DARPA to 30mph.<br><br>CMU also beat UPenn/Lehigh, Cornell, and 29 teams that didn't finish the race.<br><br>Spencer, there's no mention of that, but I imagine it cost quite a bit more than the $2 million prize.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cmonkey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Nov 5th 2007 10:15AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on GM-powered Carnegie Mellon team take first prize at DARPA]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/05/gm-powered-carnegie-mellon-team-take-first-prize-at-darpa/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ha, my school's (Georgia Tech) Porsche didn't fair so well.
