There were no millionaires created in the Mojave Desert on Saturday, as all 14 teams vying to be the first to guide a driverless robot vehicle through a treacherous 142-mile route and cash in on a $1 million prize sputtered out within hours of leaving the starting line," reports The Washington Post.
"The Grand Challenge ended with more of a whimper than bang as robot after robot succumbed to one malfunction or another. Within 41/2 hours, all 14 vehicles had been withdrawn or were disabled and were being returned to the starting line."
The Mercury News also has a report.
