    Sure it's clever and all very well and good for those who love to see technology taking over every aspect of life while we all get alsheimers because it's caused us to have idle brains, but I'll be buggared If I'm sending my rover off on holiday while I stay behind, or sit in the passenger seat. I like driving my rover. Just a thought.

    Academics aren't stupid - if they are going to use research grants to buy a car, they may as well do it in style

    Shows you how stupid smart people are wanting to virtually drive a bowler rather than get in and drive it.
