Is this the way the world is going?
« on: August 10, 2007, 01:06:01 am »
In the time of telemetry within FI, it was reported that McClaren could drive a car at almost race speed around a track without a driver in the car purely by remote control. This was the time that everyone was saying a monkey could do it.

OK, remote control systems are getting better, I know I 'sail' an RC yatch when I can't get out on the real thing. But, have a view of this from yahoo:-

We've seen recent adverts of them climbing stairs on TV, I'd just liked to see the McClaren doing a circuit or two at speed without a 'driver'.

The ladies already have 'remote' men powered by (f)U2 batteries.

The way things are going, we won't be needed at all! except for the financing of course
At my age, it takes me all night to do what I used to do all night!!!!!!!!!!!
Then, growing old is compulsary, but growing up is just optional.

I don't do GREEN, I've got a 4x4

That's great news, actually. We'll have enough time for our own, then.  :)
I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.
