I dont know who wrote this first. I will go ahead and attribute it to
JGC.

Anyways, its false. The DARPA vehicle that was the WINNER did not use
bayes methods. It used a coupling algorithm between a distance radar
and a visual camera. The basic motto behind the winning car was "the
flat road is this particular color, so drive towards that color
more."

The second-place vehicle, on the other hand, used bayesian methods to
determine the location of obstacles. It was not an "Inference Engine"
at all. It was more like a "cloud" algorithm, where each guess in
the "cloud" of guesses was updated as sensory information came in. The
final determination of the location of the obstacle was obtained by
finding the place in front of the vehicle with the greatest density of
guesses.
