In 1996 Italians entered the game. Professor Alberto Broggi and his team at the University of Parma initiated the ARGO project to pick up where the "Prometheus" left off. They came up with, a Lancia Thema, prototype equipped with two simple black-and-white video cameras and a navigational system based on stereoscopic vision algorithms. The car managed to cover a route of more than 1,200 miles at an average speed of 56 mph.
