> Stanford Made Available Code From Cars That Entered Darpa Challenges

That's oddly worded. The wording makes it sound like it's the code from numerous different cars in the challenge, and not just Stanford's entry, but the site wording and the source structure itself look to be a single system.

Then again, the code is from 2011, so I guess the past tense is somewhat justified...

Since when does anyone post things on sourceforge anymore? It makes me wonder how legitimate this is...

I can agree with that. Even if the usernames (and real names) match members from the team, it is still a little suspicious

I can verify it's legit (Sebastian Thrun sent this link to me a year or so ago).

This code is legit (see other comment; download the tar and try to forget you ever visited Sourceforce) and incredibly interesting. I browsed this repo a year ago and still come back to it every so often. The architecture decisions that the Stanford team made in 2005 and 2007 have stood the test of time (at least as evidenced by many of the decisions in the architecture of our Voyage car, but anecdotally in others too).

Learn more with this paper on Junior, which uses this codebase: http://robots.stanford.edu/papers/junior08.pdf

Ok, we've replaced the title above with a grammatical one that we ripped off of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14651524.
