Grand Challenge 2006

So I got to thinkin about the grand challenge today and what, if anything, is next.  I mean, yeah there were failures, but a lot of the robots handled the course with no problem.  So, what's harder than crossing rough terrain?  How about well trafficked terrain?  There's a link to a DARPA survey gauging interest in an urban grand challenge.  Sounds pretty cool, but I just can't shake the image of robo-Godzilla thrashing the streets of downtown Tokyo in his morning commute.  He even has an overcoat and hat on as he runs for the train.  (He doesn't make it in time.) What's the best urban course you can think of?  Atlanta?  LA?  New York?  I know I get pretty pissed off when I try to get from Rockville to Bowie and back on a Friday at 4:45.  Sign Stanley up for that.
