For those that have never seen it, Sebatian Thrun's talk at Google after winning the DARPA Grand Challenge is excellent (and he's very funny)

So many great lines:

- "We tried to find the smoothest thing in the frame but the smoothest thing turned out to be the sky"

- "We had it adapt to rough terrain by having me drive the car and it learned from my driving. Granted, it drives like a German now."

- "Nobody tells you their sensor error rate so we had to drive the car around and have the car learn the error probabilities"

- "Nobody needs to tell you this but Stanford students are amazing"

- "A lot of the people who entered are what I would call: 'car nuts' "
