Check out TerraMax and the Lone Wolf, side by side. TerraMax is the largest vehicle in the Urban Challenge and the Lone Wolf is the smallest.
We had 2 runs today.
On the first run, after a great start, we encountered an unusual
condition. Upon restart, the Lone Wolf
took off at a good clip and drove around parked cars, cones and barrels. In our next run, we were tested extensively
on interacting with live traffic at 4 way intersections. The Lone Wolf appeared to perform flawlessly

We’re getting back to the hotel earlier tonight than usual,
so hope to get some much needed rest. It
is a lot of fun at the Urban Challenge, but it is also intense and tiring. We are trying to get out each day’s pictures,
but get a bit behind from time to time.
Please check back for more photos.
