Photos: 'Stanley' revs up for robo race

The Stanford Racing Team's "Stanley," a modified Volkswagen Touareg, drives itself on the 2.3-mile race track at the qualifying event for the DARPA Grand Challenge at the California Speedway.

Stanley qualified for the DARPA Grand Challenge, a desert race of unmanned vehicles with a $2 million prize, to be held Saturday near Primm Valley, Nev. The modified Volkswagen Touareg finished the seven-day qualifying event without hitting any obstacles.
