Wow that is extremely impressive. How long will it take us to catch up? :)

I think I seen this before it is pretty awesome! was it's path  pre programmed  ?What would happen if something suddenly jumped out in front of it? could it instantly calculate a way around the new obstacle ?

this is what engineering is all about. impressive stuff.

Quite impressive, would be even more so if the guidance system did not have a predetermined model of the environment before flight...

Moderators, what's going on?? This is now the fourth time this story has been posted in the past week!

Chris do you think is that bad to repost something so many times?

You know , not everyone reads the blog hourly and we sometimes may skip some blog posts.

In general, we have a policy against reposts and ask the Moderators to reject dupes. It's just our effort to keep the signal/noise ratio as high as possible in the main "news" channel on the front page. Sometimes dupes slip through, and that's not the end of the world, but four in one week is a bit sloppy for us.
