    • ]]>     Congratulations to the University of Utah and BYU DARPA Urban Grand Challenge team. DARPA has selected 36 teams as semifinalists to compete, and the U/Y team is one of them.

    The University and Utah and BYU teamed up about a month ago to work collectively on their entry, and now they will compete in October for one of the 20 finalist spots.

    I participated with the team up until a month ago, when my classwork and finances dictated a smaller contribution of time to the project.

    You can read the slashdot news article about it.

    I am on the control team for BYU’s car.  Specifically, I’m working on the software that takes waypoints and communicates them to the car driving system.  Eventually we will connect the AI which would allow the car to be completely driven by computers. 

    Be sure to check out pictures of the car.
