I saw a news report about 2 months ago where the army was offering a million dollar prize for the first person that could come up ith a remote control full size truck that could run a 100 mile course in the desert.There were 20 teams i think but no one was able to pull it off the sand and dust shorted them out and obscured the lenses I think
That the DARPA challenge? Not even remote control but fully autonomous ground vehicles. They will run it again next year.
That sounds like a real amateur effort..
I'm suggesting a contract with someone like Raytheon..
If they can whip up terrain guided cruise missiles they can pull this off.
That wasn't a remote controlled truck you saw. It was an AI operated truck, one that needed no input whatsoever from humans while it operated. No one has yet done it. But a remote truck should be a snap (if, as another Freeper mentioned, we can get by those pesky manual transmissions on the big rigs).
