Autopilots (2013)

Fueled by a $2M prize, inventor Paul Perrone and his small team set out on a road trip across country. They brought with them their quirky robot car Tommy to compete head to head against well-funded giants in the DARPA Grand Challenge, a historic race of robotic vehicles across the Mojave Desert. Tragedies and triumphs occur during the tournament which set the stage for self-driving cars.
