- emhs 13y agoE.g. the Robert Downey Jr movie where he controls a fighting robot. Bigger and nastier risks allowed than human boxing. I still haven't seen that, though...
- pilsetnieks 13y agoThat's Hugh Jackman, the movie's called "Real Steel". Not to confuse with the Robert Downey Jr. movie series where he controls a fighting robot that he occasionally is inside of.
- emhs 13y agoThis is what I get for commenting about movies I haven't seen yet.
- schwap 13y agoI actually think that would be extremely difficult. I think that such cars -- even with less restrictions -- would actually be slower than F1 cars around the same track. My theory is that so much of driving (especially at the F1 level) is about feeling what's going on. That just doesn't translate to a remote control.
