I’m not sure the cost of his upgrades to remote control. It didn’t look incredibly expensive. Then you just need a good scarecrow in the drivers seat, and your off.

It doesn’t inspire a good action movie though.

The price of the RC I link to in the post is $269. That’s a gas powered version too.

Of course, you know, I’m talking about a 1/8th sized model car, not the full sized remote controlled car Lex Luthor had in Superman: The Movie.

If someone else is doing it, and robots are much quicker and more efficient without humans in the loop, we could end up at a tactical disadvantage.

Also, where can you get a remote-controlled car for $500? I am so in. ;-)
