Garnet Hertz, the man behind the cockroach-controlled robot, has developed a small car that lets you navigate the open road through the imagery of a 1980s-era car racing video game. The project, titled OutRun, “explores the consequences of using only a computer model of the world as a navigation tool for driving.” There’s no mention of how many points you lose (or win) for hitting pedestrians.

An I bet we paid for this… Just what we need… another couple hundred thousand flushed down another hole of useless research… Thanks Barack!

what a waste of time and money… just drive a car! and no i’m not missing the point, the game interprets its surroundings and converts the data into some atari nightmare. if the car then drove itself- great! but as is a windscreen wipes the floor with it.
Rant over.
