    bot vehicle that is capable of navigating successfully within the confines of a building may be completely unable to function outdoors. An intelligent vehicle that is able to drive on well marked roads may be unable to drive successfully through the woods, or in tall grass or weeds. An intelligent vehicle that is capable of driving on the freeway may be unable to drive on two lane roads with oncoming traffic, or on city streets with intersections and traffic signals. This suggests that Performance Measures for Intelligent Systems must not only measure the behavior of the system, but the characteristics of the environment in which the system must perform. The U.S. Army has launched a major initiative to field a Future Combat System that will consist of light-weight, airtransportable vehicles that include both manned and unmanned vehicles. A major effort is directed at measuring the technology readiness of technology for unmanned driving, both on-road and off-road in all kinds of weath
