  • Abstract
    This paper reflects on the author\´s experience with the course "CS294: Projects in Artificial Intelligence," at Stanford University during the fall quarter of 2004. To gain a better understanding of artificial intelligence through collaborative project work, he and his students participated at the 2004 DARPA Grand Challenge. Although they failed to finish the course, their robot named Stanley was able to go further than any other robot had gone in the Grand Challenge. The experience taught his students some valuable new lessons about working in large teams that are focused on true challenge problems
