Team Oshkosh's Unmanned Truck Passes Parked Car

[brostugen]

It'd be more awesome if Terramax can give verbal commands, "MOVE!"

[lsilver6]

wtf is the point of that? seems like it would take forever to get somewhere Id be pissed if I was behind that!

[dloader505]

FUCK U DIRTY BASTARDZ! WE WANNA WORK!

@Soulfree2008 And millions of technicians hired to service the controls at a higher rate of pay. This was the same argument when computers were invented. The computer job market alone dwarfs any potential loss of some low level accountant.

[RWmods]

wow. that is smart ;)

[taylord1]

way to represent oshkosh!!

[jellyboy123]

come on its just a start remember the first computers they was crap but they got better, takes time in a few years time self drive cars be on the streets.

[aztecducky]

this thing is awesome!

[coolpooper]

the computer driving this truck is a dumass

[kenfo0]

despite the negs, i must agree to the pt that even the most inexperienced driver is more effiecient than this. interesting as an early run, but not impressive.

Hey, technology has just the use you want to give it. Otherwise, it's true that Darpa is part of Pentagon, so we'd be foolish if we didn't think this will have military applications.

[DerClunk]

All of this unmanned crap seems to have a potential "military application." An army of robots, killing the enemies of America and Israel. These are truly inspiring times. One day this thing will malfunction and kill the wrong people, but that will be considered a small price to pay for "progress."

[Nialsh]

You assume that all the military does is kill people. An autonomous supply truck would be a much better application.

[Pro60modman]

What are you in? A terminator world? All unmanned robots have human calibration from behind. The robots move into the hot zones, but we have the trigger.

[DerClunk]

"We" don't have a damn thing, you fool. "They" have it. Until you understand who I mean by "they", you're not going to know what I'm talking about.

[Pro60modman]

You just have fun wearing your foil hat

[jsharpminor]

You do realize that all technology has soon been applied to killing people? It was just 7 years between the Wright brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk and our using airplanes as weapons of war. Computers as we know them were not even developed and we were using them to guide missiles.

[WoogyMonster]

Are you Sarah Connor? Cyberdyne Systems Series 800 Model 101 Terminator has been instructed to terminate you.

[ALingua]

Go ahead America!

[wienerwurst22]

Ein Wahnsinn!! Echt toll wie weit die Technik gekommen ist. Alles Gute beim Urban Challenge.

[economistBR]

Dude if you paint a series of white marks on the ground this truck is going to go nuts.

I liked watching the truck hesitate there

[rabidmongoose51]

Thats pretty cool
