DARPA director Tony Tether has announced the winners of the DARPA Urban Challenge robot car race:
- Carnegie Mellon's Tartan Racing Team won the first place prize of $2 million.
- Stanford University's Stanford Racing team won the second place prize of $1 million.
- Virginia Tech's Victor Tango team won the third place prize of $500,000.
None of teams received any demerits for traffic violations and the placing was therefore determined solely by time to completion. Tartan Racing Team’s vehicle averaged about 14 miles per hour throughout the course.
