 | | STANFORD, Calif., Sept. 22 -- Stanley, the Stanford Racing Team's entry into the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, tears through the Arizona desert before heading next week into the National Qualifying Event for the October 8 contest of driverless, robotic cars in Primm, NV. |
 | | Stanley is the product of collaboration among engineers at Stanford University's School of Engineering, the Volkswagen of America Electronics Research Lab, and supporters at MDV-Mohr Davidow Ventures, Android, Red Bull and other companies. |
 | | In the year since the project began, Stanley has driven thousands of miles autonomously, powered by the rugged body of VW Touareg R5 TDI and the whip- smart brains of software developed by Stanford engineers. |
