  • Thanks for putting this on YouTube. I'm the cameraman with the tripod on the right side. I had an excellent perspective, but found it difficult to hold the camera still... I survived Alice! (Is there a T-shirt?)

  • @zzzz3416 It was more likely the powerlines that the car just drove under, Alice was designed to navigate using a GPS as a primary system, the LADAR and Stereovision were mainly for avoiding obstacles.

  • Actually, according to the report, the mid-range LADARs failed 4 minutes into the race, they lost the GPS signal just before turning down that lane and that caused the alignment of obstacles in memory to drift. Normally it would've caught the barriers but as luck would have it, the cameras were blinded by the sun at that point, and when short range LADAR finally picked up the obstacles, it was too late.

  • 3:55 > human detected: destroy!

    4:10 - end > Alice: "a little help here? please?" humans: #care, we're outta here.

  • The car's radar navigation was sabotaged by a human bystander with a microwave source in the crowd. The car traveled flawlessly until it came in range of people for the first time. That's when the radar navagation failed. That was sabotage. When millions of dollars of prize money are at stake, this is what people do.

  • the sun caused it, look at the huge bright triangle right over the road-it 'bothered' the car earlier on...

  • They looked so terrified! It's like that car had it in for them!

  • nada de mais

  • awesome footage! I've seen this clip multiple times from bystanders but never from Alice herself
