DOD is using Artificial Intelligence because it is providing an incentive for individuals to build autonomous systems with artificial intelligence. It also realized that the first attempt was too difficult, so they changed the course. Which provided information that the vehicles can travel long distance across difficult terrain at military relevant speed. The way it saves lives it is by making these vehicles go into territories in which a regular vehicle can’t go into. The bomb squad can use the vehicles to locate bombs. The vehicles will also prevent accidents on the road.
2. Why would the DOD use an event such as the DARPA Grand Challenge, to further technological innovation?
It uses the challenge because it gives a hefty incentive, with the $2 million dollars.
