It'd be more awesome if Terramax can give verbal commands, "MOVE!"

@Soulfree2008 And millions of technicians hired to service the controls at a higher rate of pay. This was the same argument when computers were invented. The computer job market alone dwarfs any potential loss of some low level accountant.

despite the negs, i must agree to the pt that even the most inexperienced driver is more effiecient than this. interesting as an early run, but not impressive.

You do realize that all technology has soon been applied to killing people? It was just 7 years between the Wright brothers' flight at Kitty Hawk and our using airplanes as weapons of war. Computers as we know them were not even developed and we were using them to guide missiles.
