That was great :cool:

I have been following this progression since the first race.
Thanks for the Broadband feed it was interesting.
Great things to come.

I found myself actually with tears in my eyes when one of the cars couldnt get himself back on the road (kept bumping into things)

Definetly an interesting concept!

I have been following this progression since the first race

As have I. Fascinating stuff. Won't be real long & you'll be able to get into your car, tell it to take you to the ball game or over the hill & through the woods to grandmother's house -- and it will!

until the day that the machines rise and transport you to the penal colony for humans chosen for servitude to the robotic master race

on that day you may well go shoulder to shoulder with your grandmother on the the rack of obedience

do not consider these robot cars as sources of amusement
soon they will be your master
