Three teams finish DARPA's Urban Challenge, but a winner won't be named until Sunday.

Shouldn't VT be in the headline too?

The headline seems a bit misleading and biased on this article. Shouldn't it read "Stanford, CMU, VT Robots Cross the Finish Line"?? Be honest and unbiased in your reporting.

Not Biased

Before you go slamming the writer for biased writing maybe you should learn how their world works. First off, they write the story. The Editors write the headlines. And in all honesty, how "misleading" is the headline because it doesn't mention VT as well? Did that omissions truly prevent you from understanding what the article was about or are you just someone who is involved with VT and you feel left out? I'm really getting sick of people these days who feel it's okay to criticize something they know nothing about.

CM's vehicle

Its a Trailblazer, not a Tahoe, only a $20k mistake.

I was there, and 6 robots finished.

This article was written in some haste.

Magicman73, CNET deserves criticism for getting the facts wrong. And you jumped in to defend them before you checked the facts.
