A robot-guided Volkswagen won a $2 million race across the Mojave desert, beating four other vehicles in a contest aimed at making warfare safer for humans. The Pentagon-sponsored race displayed major technological leaps since last year’s race, when none of the self-driving vehicles crossed the finish line. A Volkswagon Touareg designed by Stanford University finished the race in six hours and 53 minutes, using only its computer brain and sensors to navigate the rough desert.
