You may remember "Stanley," the robotic Volkswagen Touareg which won the $2 million prize at the DARPA's race back in October. Well Stanford went and brought the champion out here for all to ogle. The Stanford robot Touareg finished the course in 6 hours, 53 minutes, beating everyone else to take the record, so it's pretty cool to see something this expensive and powerful up close. I noticed they had a tent to hide it from the sun. I suppose they were afraid it'd drive off on its own and run over the CES crowd. Johnny 5 is alive!
