In the United States America there has passed the third rally of the robotized cars organized by Agency of the advanced defensive researches (DARPA).
      Unlike competition Grand Challenge which is passed in 2005 in Mohave desert (state of Nevada), present competition Urban Challenge it has been organized in the conditions as much as possible approached to city. Cyber-mobile should overcome without someone's help a distance approximately in 90 kilometers less than for 6 hours. Thus robots should avoid collisions with stationary obstacles and other participants of traffic, observe a marking, traffic signs and adequately to react to a situation on road.
      As informs Wired News, robot-off-road car Chevrolet Tahoe constructed by command Tartan Racing Team from university of Carnegie-Mellon has best coped with a task in view. Moving with average speed in 22,5 km/h, this robot could cross the first finishing feature, than bring to the founders a monetary prize at a rate of 2.000.000 $. The second race was finished with the robot on the basis of universal Volkswagen Passat, belonging command Standford of university which has won 1.000.000 $. On the third place - кибермобиль Odin on the basis of car Ford Escape Hybrid, created by engineers Virginue of polytechnical institute. The prize for the third place has made 500.000 $.

      t is necessary to notice, that participants of rally Urban Challenge have been equipped by the latest word of technics. So, for example, robot Stenfordskogo of university for orientation in space used 64 laser sensor controls for formation of the three-dimensional picture, five radars, ultraprecise receivers of satellite system of navigation GPS and still it is a lot of tens gauges.
