Wow I was excited when I read about this in the paper this morning :thumb
A team from Stanford University's School of Engineering has made motoring history, winning a $2m (£1.14m) prize in the process.
Its car, a Volkswagen Touareg nicknamed "Stanley", has become the first self-navigating vehicle to successfully complete the gruelling 131.6 mile (211km) cross-country Darpa Grand Challenge, a race for autonomous robot vehicles held in Nevada's Mojave desert.
