I doubt the insurance company is going to cover this collision.
At 12:35 PM local time Cornell’s robot, Skynet, stopped itself in front of MIT’s robot. Skynet stayed there long enough that MIT’s robot made an executive decision to pass. It successfully passed Skynet’s DARPA chase vehicle. As MIT approached Skynet, it made another executive decision to pass. MIT began the procedure very elegantly. It went around Skynet and as it proceeded to reenter the lane in front of Skynet, Skynet began to drive forward.
Stanford’s robot, Junior, was paused because it was on its way to the wreck. The vehicles were separated and both are proceeding. Stanford was resumed. At risk is the performance of the impacted sensors. It appears that all systems are behaving well and all vehicles are still in the race.
