Stanley: The Robot that Won the DARPA Grand Challenge

TLDR
The robot Stanley, which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge, was developed for high‐speed desert driving without manual intervention and relied predominately on state‐of‐the‐art artificial intelligence technologies, such as machine learning and probabilistic reasoning.
Abstract
This article describes the robot Stanley, which won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge. Stanley was developed for high-speed desert driving without human intervention. The robot’s software system relied predominately on state-of-the-art AI technologies, such as machine learning and probabilistic reasoning. This article describes the major components of this architecture, and discusses the results of the Grand Challenge race.

Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors attempt to find a middle ground by balancing engineering principles and equations of use to every automotive engineer with practical explanations of the mechanics involved, so that those without a formal engineering degree can still comprehend and use most of the principles discussed.
