The only carnage incurred...
The cable to actuate the brake. The throttle is controlled by the computer being tapped into the speed control...

There was 5 vehicles that finished. The mega$$$$ VW team won the two million dollar prize as the fastest. TheVX did not make it. The funny thing is is the VW used a very similar tracking system as the Austin Robotics VX, but they had 7 years to tune it versus 9 months that the VXers had. They said one of the other teams hd a guy on it that came over to them and said "great choice of vehicle...a VX". They came to find out the guy owned a VX...they told him about this site! Here is the DARPA site.
