Well, it is rocket science, afterall, and we should not be ashamed to admit it.  The nation needs our best and brightest citizens working to solve the complex problems of society. While the 2007 DARPA Urban Challenge is sponsored by the Department of Defense, its dual use nature will be of very direct and practial value to all of us as it is applied to cars, busses and trucks on US highways preventing accidents.
