More on Grand Challenge Urban
The Third Grand Challenge will be hard. Read the pdf link for some details. Section 2.3 is especially important.
I don't know we will have a winner if the envrionment is very unconstrained.
On the plus side, robotic vehicles will be much, much closer to reality if we do have a winner. I'd expect comercialization within a year of completion of the course, and certainly deployed military applications within 2 years.
Note that one big problem with deployment are regulations. Though you can't guarentee human drivers, folks might want to guarenee a robot driver's safety. I think the razzle-dazzle of the event would convince plenty of people of the safety of a winning system.
