| Stanford robot car "Junior" in action, DARPA Urban Challenge |
 |
Yesterday, a Volkswagen Passat drove around a
parking lot in Mountain View, CA, made three-point
turns, and followed the rules at a four-way
stop--all without human intervention. The
computer-controlled car is named Junior, and it's
Stanford University's official entry in the DARPA
Urban Challenge, a race in which an autonomous car
must navigate city streets, obey traffic laws,
avoid obstructions, and, crucially, drive well
among other cars in traffic. This test run is
Junior's first public appearance, designed to let
DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency) test the car and determine if it proceeds
to the next round in the Urban Challenge.

| The Stanford Prison Experiment pt. 2 of 3 |
 |
The Stanford prison experiment was ostensibly a
psychological study of human responses to
captivity and its behavioral effects on both
authorities and inmates in prison. It was
conducted in 1971 by a team of researchers led by
Philip Zimbardo of Stanford University.
Undergraduate volunteers played the roles of both
guards and prisoners living in a mock prison in
the basement of the Stanford psychology building.
Prisoners and guards rapidly adapted to their
roles, stepping beyond the boundaries of what had
been predicted and leading to dangerous and
psychologically damaging situations. One-third of
the guards were judged to have exhibited "genuine"
sadistic tendencies, while many prisoners were
emotionally traumatized and two had to be removed
from the experiment early.
Ethical concerns surrounding the famous experiment
often draw comparisons to the Milgram experiment,
which was conducted in 1961 at Yale University by
Stanley Milgram, Zimbardo's former high school
friend.
Tom Peters and Robert H. Waterman Jr wrote in 1981
that the Milgram Experiment in the 1960s and the
later Zimbardo Experiment were frightening in
their implications about the danger which lurks in
the darker side of human nature.
