Sandwich Starts an XBox 360 Thread (a.k.a. Worst Idea Using A Game Console Ever)

Xbox 360 Powers Nissan Concept Car

I can see all the fender benders that could be caused by the average person (i.e. stupid) "forgetting" which mode their car was in... :rolleyes:

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well.

Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

the Nissan URGE concept car allows drivers (while parked) to play "Project Gotham Racing® 3" using the car's own steering wheel, gas pedal and brake pedal while viewing the game on a flip-down seven-inch LCD screen.

If not, it's a bold move... when you consider how many ignorant people are complaining about children not knowing the difference between their fantasty gaming worlds and the real world.

I don't see how anyone could see this as a good thing.

It's like going combining water pistols and shotguns.

Sure, it might be fun for the kids, but not if they press the wrong button.

Uh-huh. Now think about the track record the manufacturer of the computer system in question has in regards to reliability.

I've changed my mind.

They should include a mode where you can control both the real and computer cars at the same time. Now THAT would be a ****ing fun game.

It'd aid natural selection too. Not by killing the stupid, but by helping people with good reflexes impress chicks and have more kids.

With real-time 3D representation of the city around you in-game, using radar topographical mapping and stuff. Yeah. That'd work.

Just hope there's no lag...
In a serious way, Sandwich's idea is interesting, though I still prefer my own eyes.

No, with just the regular game.

The skill would be in navigating the virtual course with enough accuracy to complete it, but deviating enough to keep your real car from crashing.
