Their vehicle models are a little amusing: Lamborghini, Porsche, etc.

They are. My guess is that they are images automatically encoded into C++ files so they can compiled and linked with the rest of the software.

Last update was from 2011, looking at the file modification time.

Yes, most people who have used this code in recent years have had to make heavy modifications and fix several bugs to get it working properly. It's mostly really great stuff, but it was written rather hastily.

Wait - was this open sourced _in_ 2011, or last edited then and open sourced only recently? The former doesn't sound right, because I was working in a similar area around that time and would've thought I'd have seen this earlier if it had been publicised.

Aha, I was wondering why Sourceforge...

Ok, we put (2011) in the title.

Wow, this is just what I was looking for. Thanks!

Sourceforge?

Sourceforge?!

Why?

SourceForge was absolutely amazing in 2000. It certainly hasn't kept up with technology, and is a horrible ad-infested mess now, but it (and its failed competitors, like Xnot if I remember the name correctly) played a huge role in promoting and distributing open source and Free software back in the day.

Ah, I remember the days when I lived on Sourceforge and Freshmeat.net...
Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by rbanffy on Thursday August 21, 2014 @09:00AM (#8207106)
Me too, but this is not the SourceForge of 2000 anymore.
Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by socceroos on Thursday August 21, 2014 @09:32PM (#8210494)
Oh, I completely agree. I have a project on Sourceforge that I've moved (recently) to Github.
Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by AceJohnny2 on Wednesday August 20, 2014 @08:37PM (#8205432)
Looks like they used Mercurial.

Someone please convert it to git and put it on GitHub...
Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by misiti3780 on Wednesday August 20, 2014 @09:14PM (#8205490)
someone should a build a service that does it - provide a sourceforge url and get back a github url. dont know if it is possible but it would be nice

everytime im on sourceforge i constantly find myself wishing the website would just die

Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by iancarroll on Wednesday August 20, 2014 @09:54PM (#8205619)
Similarly, a Chrome extension that converts Sourceforge download links to direct download links.
Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by isaacdl on Wednesday August 20, 2014 @09:00PM (#8205452)
Or Bitbucket...wouldn't even need to convert the repo to git.
Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by gammarator on Wednesday August 20, 2014 @09:05PM (#8205463)
With hggit, you can transparently use github from Mercurial.
Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by bagels on Wednesday August 20, 2014 @08:58PM (#8205449)
You could do it?
Re:Stanford Driving Software (2011) by _lce0 on Wednesday August 20, 2014 @11:48PM (#8205849)
and even `git svn`

.. I'm never going back to that
