The DARPA Grand Challenge is a contest hosted by DARPA that challenges teams to create fully autonomous vehicles. The winning team receives a $2 million prize. The first challenges in 2004 and 2005 took place in the desert, with no vehicles completing the course in 2004 and five vehicles finishing in 2005. The next challenge will be held in 2007 in an urban setting, requiring the autonomous vehicles to follow traffic laws and drive through checkpoints with only short notice of their locations and order.
