The 60-mile course at the former George Air Force Base in Victorville CA must be successfully navigated in less than 6-hours while avoiding about 50 carbon-based drivers.
That oily titanium tang is the smack of robotic cars set for release Saturday in the DARPA Urban Challenge.
Can Stanford repeat their 2005 Grand Challenge victory with "Junior" or will Carnegie Mellon's "Boss" (pictured) bust out a BFG-9000 in swift retribution?
The final event pits 11 vehicles in competition for a $2 million first, $1M second, and $500k third place prizes.
Tune in Saturday to find out.
Oh man, can you taste it?
