but kill the fun of driving, no thanks.

It's not. it's removing the driving. Like if you get on a bus, that removes the driving too. You might not like buses (I certainly don't) as you prefer to drive, but that doesn't mean they aren't a good idea

You know, I think I'd happily trade thousands of lost lives, many times more injured, and the simple convenience of not needing to be the driver for the fun of driving. Because, let's face it, most of the driving we actually do is tedious commutes and dreary shopping runs.

Sir Chris Hoy can drive!!! :shock:

I suspect someone will beat him though. The "reasonably fast car" has a time of 1.31.3 set by the Stig in the wet. So room for improvement yet

There is also the fact she is from a different country and translation of jokes or humor sometimes doesn't work.

Not on tonight because some fat athletes are hitting balls with sticks used by blind people. Back on next week I believe.

What makes you think automated Drivers will be so much safer? I think the nature of some accidents will change and maybe stop altogether (shunts etc) but accidents will always happen with anything designed and/or built by a person.

Why would they cancel Robot Wars and Top Gear for boring golf? Surely golf won't get as many viewers!

My mistake. I thought it was an incredibly long and convoluted run-up to a road test.

Better than an incredibly long and convoluted way to not have a guest on a car show.

Shots fired

People moaned the BBC were not showing enough sport. So they put golf on

Really enjoyed that episode. It's great Sunday night viewing.

 

[Django x2]

Just finished tonights episode. A bit "Meh", but not too shabby. Felt a little forced. Rory just isn't getting the laughs anymore with that crap Smart car gag.....

 

[Mal X]

tonights episode was the best so far, esp Cuba............fav car for me was the Yellow 55 Chevy
they're starting to get on better together now

 

[Mr Jack]

The studio guest section continues to fall flat, but the set piece with the material handlers was fun, and I much enjoyed the rest of the show. Out of the studio they work together much better.

 

[peterattheboro]

Crap episode I thought. AMG bit was good but wish i had stopped after that.

Rory annoyed the hell out of me and the Cuba piece was crap compared to what a couple of guys from YouTube can do.

 

[Housey]

Agreed. Worst one so far this week.

 

[Rotty]

Rory is so annoying

 

[dacads]

At least they went somewhere different this episode

Rich coming from me, but Ross Noble has put on some beef, hasn't he? Still hilarious mind
