Amazing, five robots finished the race today. Last year no one got very far at all. An amazing advance in autonomous robotic vehicular driving in only 1 year.

The official DARPA RDDF file containing the coordinates for this year's race hasn't been made available (as far as I know) by DARPA or any of the teams, but I used the coordinates in this CMU Red Team Google Maps page to create a KML file:

Thank you John for posting the coordinates of the route. I was curious to see how the 'bots drove the course and so I wrote a quick script to create placemarks at every 50th waypoint. Selecting the new folder from the placemark above and then clicking the "tour play" button provides a simple flyover of the course.

Cheers,

Mark
