Lazy Stig? Not Likely!

Would the Stig sign up for this? Some say he listens to the BeeGees and sleeps hanging from a tree. Would he ever drive a car that needs no input?

Italian engineers are testing two driverless cars by sending them through Moscow traffic, the sweltering summer heat of Siberia and the perishing cold of the Gobi desert before making Shanghai in October. The techies will act only if there is a problem.

Is this the future? Let's see now, how many men want the wife to take over the driving? Because the girls do a better job. We'll go automatic at least, no need for gears. Oversteer, understeer, apexes, all complete cobblers. Top Gear will be no more.

We could have had this yonks ago, but nobody wants it. Why? Because we all think we are cracking drivers. Give Lewis Hamilton a run for his money. The Stig? Well, maybe not today anyway.
