Actually, the use of remote controls in full size cars isn't all that uncommon. It's frequently used in movies and television when stunt drivers could be harmed.

But I'm more interested in a true robotic program where the car would be programed into making decisions based on the available data (like a driver, only without insurance).

Check out that DARPA challenge from a couple of years ago. The first year it was obvious that no vehicles would get very far through the couse, and they didn't. Last year they completed the course but it was dumbed a great deal.

yep, that one was funny, but I liked the 3 used cars under 100 pounds and the 3 porsches too

Top gear sucks! It's just a combination of ego stroking and bashing all things that aren't British.

Top gear was awesome, only for the odd-job challanges, didn't care much for the normal car testing

TVR still British,Jaguar and Aston Martin British in there somewere.How can they bash British when there is not a lot British built cars made now days.Yes Clarkson is so far up his own rectum,but Hammond and May just crack me up.

It's moments like this that I wonder why NASCAR isn't more popular in Britain.
