Originally 20 teams had hoped to compete in the Urban Challenge, 11 made the first cut. Some didn’t pass the ’safe for road’ test. The 11 finalists VictorTango, CarOLO, Ben Franklin, Cornell, Stanford, Tartan, MIT, Knight Rider, AnnieWAY, Intelligent Vehicle Systems, Terra Max all competed for a three and a half million dollar prize.Six of the vehicles crossed the finish, and the three winners were Stanford ( $1 million ), Carnegie Mellon ( Tartan )( $2 million ) , and Virginia Tech ( Ben Franklin ) ( half a million ) finishing in less than 6 hours each.The course was 60 miles long, and vehicles had to avoid obstacles including 50 human driven cars.
