Nope. They built it themselves.

I do work on this. Your last point is correct (and probably the biggest issue). Others include weather and general vision problems.

It's impressive. Making anything completely driverless working at incredibly high speeds is challenging.

This is a very interesting area of research. The state of the art in motion planning for robotics actually uses multiple heuristics at once with A*. http://www.roboticsproceedings.org/rss10/p56.pdf

Take a look at this paper: http://web.cs.du.edu/~sturtevant/papers/incnew.pdf Specifically, look at the Martelli G family example.

This isn't true. An admissible heuristic guarantees the optimal solution. With an inconsistent heuristic, A* can re-expand states multiple times, but will still end with an optimal path. In other words, if the heuristic is consistent,

Totally agree. And when one of the suggestions for porting to Py3 is "Decide if the feature is really that important. Maybe you could drop it?", you know something is wrong.

I took it last semester. Most definitely a trap - Smola is one of those guys who's just too smart to teach. Great material - terrible instruction.

His method is a bit more complex, but you eventually need to describe how different frequencies change the characteristics of a system. Initially, it's nice to see impedance in terms of a + bi, but that's not easy to manipulate when you ev

Let's not forget Deep Impact. Flew past two asteroids, and even threw something into the first one while taking pictures (with an incredible autonavigation system). Pretty awesome if you ask me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Impact_(sp

I work at NASA, and I like to think that I have a personality...in fact, the center I work at is incredibly relaxed and basically has a collegiate atmosphere.

You can even cut that out by using Vimperator.
