If you've ever thought of building your own robotic vehicle, you're ready for the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge.  Set against the backdrop of the former George AFB in Victorville, California, this riveting DVD captures all the excitement of this long distance autonomous vehicle competition as it unfolds live.

Sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the central research and development organization of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), the DARPA Urban Challenge 2007 shattered all previous notions of how autonomous vehicles can work. Teams culled from all over the world created autonomous ground vehicles and put them to the long-distance test maneuvering in a mock city environment, executing simulated military supply missions while merging into moving traffic, navigating traffic circles, negotiating busy intersections, and avoiding obstacles.

Among the many firsts achieved at the Urban Challenge 2007, was the groundbreaking trial of having autonomous vehicles interact with both manned and unmanned vehicle traffic in an urban environment. Watching the maneuverability of these thrilling vehicles is sure to inspire your creative genius.

These teams got to see their dreams come true. Are you up to your Challenge?
