Did cars waiting at intersection activate roadbed wire loops (ala stoplight signals) or a procimity sensor(s) on board that sensed the intersection or onboard info that said,"There's a four way stop here--look for stuff?"
The intersection was defined by GPS points at the end of each lane and visually marked by the white intersection line. The robot must stop within 1 meter of the white line and then determine the proper order to preceed through the intersection. At one intersection DARPA used 5 cars from different directions to test the robot. The team were given a road network file which contained the location of the intersection and the direction of travel for each lane.
Non-military use is a few decades out according to some observers, you can take a short robot-controlled trip in your self-parking Lexus already tho.

Thanks.
(I should have realized that if systems are for defense department, they have to work without infastructure installed in place to function...
Are there any domestic possibilities for this technology?
Thanks again

Just watching from Lafayette.
