CMU’s Boss beats Stanford’s Junior at the DARPA Challenge

Well, the name says it all. CMU names their car “Boss” and wins. Stanford calls it Junior and comes in second. I have to admit, it’s not easy being a Carnegie Mellon alumni… especially out here in Stanford territory. When CMU makes news, it’s because we win robot car races. Don’t get me wrong, I am proud of the accomplishments of our robotics program and have been blown away by it since I got there 15 years ago. It’s hard to come in to a conversation about Saturday’s college football game and say “oh yeah, well my school built a car that drives itself!”
