Can't be Any Worse than the Beltway at Rush Hour

New Scientist is carrying this report summarizing the next stage in the DARPA "Grand Challenge" series. This time, the robot vehicles will be racing around a simulated urban environment, complete with sidewalks, scenery, and other moving vehicles. The first run is scheduled for November of next year. Considering the amusing mayhem that resulted on the first running of the last grand challenge, on open roads in the desert southwest, the opportunities for mechanized chaos this time around should provide plenty of footage for the highlight reel.
