PITTSBURGH - City leaders celebrated CMU's robot SUV winning a $2 million dollar prize this week. Nicknamed "Boss," the 2007 Chevy Tahoe is equipped with lasers, radar, cameras and 10 computers.
CMU's robotic ride won the first-place prize in the 2007 Urban Challenge race sponsored by the Defense Department. Mayor Luke Ravenstahl celebrated the win by asking CMU if he could take the SUV to the Rascal Flatts concert when it gets to Pittsburgh.
"Lasers ... I WANT an SUV with LASERSSSS," Ravenstahl said.
