Ghostrider struggling in DARPA qualifying

By Paul Crowe

Ghostrider in qualifying runGhostrider, the riderless motorcycle built to take on the DARPA challenge has to make it through qualifying if it’s going to run in the actual competition. So far, things have been a bit tough.

The Blue Team’s autonomous motorcycle “GhostRider” has always been an underdog at the Grand Challenge as no one expects a two-wheeled vehicle to successfully compete against SUVs, ATVs, and other off-road vehicles. GhostRider put up a good fight by going through about 50 percent of the course the first time and a little bit farther the second.
