Not as cool as the SparkFun Autonomous Vehicles competition Cool
They basically held a race for autonomous vehicles around their factory, some complete duds and failures, but some brilliant ones too. One rover ended up in a lake and one of the DIYDrones flew into a tree Laughing

Think one of the DIYDrones ended up flying the course in something stupidly fast like 40seconds.

It's from Sony, so it will be overpriced, will run hot, will run some obscure format and will come with DRM Smile.
