Stanford's Stanley completed a desert course of roughly 212 kilometres, the first autonomous vehicle to finish the DARPA Grand Challenge. The race put lidar, probabilistic perception and path planning into one public evaluation and pushed a decade of self-driving research.
Curator's note: Race results and system details are in the Journal of Field Robotics paper; the paper was published in 2006.

All six styles come from one template and can be compared word for word. [引用日期], Accessed, urldate and Y2 all carry this page's build date, 2026-11-03 — a static page is an immutable snapshot, so substitute the date you actually consulted it. The address in every style is the archive's canonical page: this English page translates the same snapshot, and the work keeps its name, so one record cites both. For one-click copying use the same entry in the timeline, which takes the day you opened it. Expand the other styles before printing.
