It's a safe bet you won't get a robot handling the data input/responses of an F1 driver...at least not for a wee little while yet.
As for quoting the English roadtolls....In Oz it's about 500 annually.....the US is just a 'tad' more than that...and a lot of that is down to the false understanding that an SUV is somehow safer than a normal sedan...

Thats why my Suburban 4x4 ain't a freaking SUV no matter what the twit at State Farm wishes to call it!

I think we have some underlying issues with the State Farm "twit", IPlural. Care to explain? Maybe on another thread. Don't want to hijack this one. Oh, and "cars" "SUVs" "Jafo". There. Put my part in.

There is a reduced import duty on 4x4s in Oz, so all the Yank-tank trucks we get are the 4x4 version...the 2wd 'SUV' is not an economical import.
In Oz we refer to them as 'Toorak Tractors'....4wd off-road LandCruisers, etc that have NEVER even seen a dirt road....but geez they roll well...

" roll well "
kind of like those Mercadies Benz or Lexus SUV's
The DARPA race is part of the open contracts the list at the DARPA web site. There is all kinds of things listed there waiting for barnyard mechanics through vested Scientists to attempt creating.

Sheesh. Old Crab has a hard time just keeping his tractor running. However, I do have a fast riding-mower. Texas does have mower races, you know !?! (laff & wink smileys here).
