Fans of 007 may remember the improbable beauty of Peirce Brosnan in the titular role outwitting a band of heavily armed henchmen with a remote-controlled BMW 750 in Die Another Day. We all winced when he characteristically totaled it as well, but we did understand that it was James Bond, and, well, he got things the rest of us could only dream of.
In ministry, you NEVER know when someone might come at you with a grenade launcher. I am still moved to tears of jealousy when i watch that clip. it gets me every time.

Now, the really attentive buzz killers will note that there are no grenade launchers in the second clip, and the key-fob controller isn’t Q-issue, but Chinese car maker BYD is putting cool back into automation.
The car is rigged to go quite slow when not being controlled (thank heavens), so there won’t be hair-raising races with this machine. Still, I want it, and will use this opportunity to prove, conclusively, whether or not Santa Claus is real this year. Or next.
Speak your mind...
