Robocars follows a number of teams from preparation to competition in their endeavor to win DARPA's Urban Challenge--a contest to design a fully autonomous vehicle that can drive itself through an urban environment.
The series itself is well made, neither too long nor too short. To protect the intellectual rights of the teams, it doesn't go into too much detail. It is presented simply enough that anyone can understand, yet by its very nature will inspire even the most experienced engineers.
The bottom line: the DARPA Urban Challenge finally gets the attention it deserves. Robocars is a fascinating chronicle of the future in the making. Highly recommended for anyone with the slightest interest in robots or the future of the automotive industry.
