The course

Both the semifinal and the final of the 2007 Urban Challenge will take place at George Air Force base in Victorville, Calif. None of the teams is permitted to visit the site prior to October 24, and the teams will be given details of the route only 5 minutes before the start of the race. All vehicles will be required to perform mock military supply missions, which involve merging into moving traffic, navigating traffic circles, negotiating busy intersections, and avoiding obstacles. Teams have up to 6 hours to complete the 60-mile course.
