So it has a whole bunch of stability management features, meaning that a computer essentially drives the car for you, and the interface is a joystick? I would *hate* it. I don't even like antilock brakes.

IMO a true "Car for Gamers" would drive itself and allow me to play video games during the crappy commute :)

is this car in production, or is it just a concept car?

Which I assume means it's real, but isn't a production car, IE a concept car.

I don't think this is a good idea. What happens if someone bumps the joystick? "Frank, what are you do... AHHHH!!!! *CRASH* GOD d**n IT FRANK!!!"

never heard about that or if it is entirely true but this right here is 100% true as it had its own tv series on the discovery channel.

That actually seems like it would be a nice car but running off water. The problem with that is would there still be enough clean water to drink and will it contaminate the water
