Boss Ready for Primetime

Carnegie Mellon’s Tartan Racing team and its autonomous vehicle, Boss, will be featured in the new TV series “Robocars,” which premieres at 10 p.m., July 14 on the Discovery Science Channel. Last year’s DARPA Urban Challenge robot race is the subject of the six-part series. Boss finished the race 19 minutes ahead of its nearest competitor, winning the $2 million grand prize.
