"DARPA intends to conduct a challenge of autonomous ground vehicles
between
Los Angeles and Las Vegas in March of 2004. A cash award of $1 million
will
be granted to the team that fields the first vehicle to complete the
designated route within a specified time limit. "

THat means, they want robot vehicles to drive the distance without any
external guidance. Seems robot warriors may be nearer than you think
