Make Way for Autonomy

While some futurists and technology executives are predicting a blanket shift to fully autonomous civilian vehicles over the next two decades, in the case of the Army, autonomy is not viewed as a one-size-fits-all solution to future operations.
It’s not that DoD doesn’t have access to the technology. In fact, it could be argued that events like the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s Grand Challenges in 2004, 2005 and 2007 established the technical foundation for many of today’s commercial driverless vehicle initiatives. (In the Grand Challenges, DARPA gave prizes to spur the development of autonomous vehicles.)
