PS3 - So good it can drive a car

ps3fanboy.com — For those not in the know, there's this thing held every so often called the DARPA challenge where people modify cars to drive themselves across the land, instead of having people doing the, er, footwork. Anyway, San Diego based group Axion Racing was tired from making the cars drive themselves -- it was too easy, they said. So they decided to. . .

    wow, impressive :p
  • MasterThief117, on 10/10/2007, -2/+40Hot ladies next to PS3... Maybe if me buy PS3, me get hot ladies too.
  • latova, on 10/10/2007, -4/+42Somebody is a 360 fanboy ;)
  • tehbored, on 10/10/2007, -14/+44Sony may have ***** up on making a game console, but they sure made a great driver/cancer cure researcher/home server/etc.
  • SuMizzle, on 10/10/2007, -8/+37Can't afford one huh?
  • Zipp425, on 10/10/2007, -7/+35psh... my 360 has been driving for months...

    driving me mad... haha
  • charlescheese, on 10/10/2007, -6/+32It's a great console too. Give it time...give it time...
  • Eddible, on 10/10/2007, -9/+30He's just cranky because he's mourning his 360 breaking for the 500th time.
  • twrife, on 10/10/2007, -7/+27Anyone that is digging this is just doing it because there are girls that are scantily clad. *Dugg*
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19And the obsessed fans are utterly sick of the casual gamers coming on here and bitching about how they dont like this or that and the obsessed fans could really care less. But I admit, it is weird, all these PS3 fans talking about the PS3 in a PS3-related article. Some people are just mind-*****.

    On another note, are people running out of reasons to dislike the PS3? First you hate it for this and that, now you hate it because others like it?
  • SuMizzle, on 10/10/2007, -7/+23I have never seen a 360 that hasn't RROD.

    Ever.
  • NeoNevermore, on 10/10/2007, -1/+17Dugg for Family Guy reference
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -6/+21More like the 360 catches the car on fire and turns red while the PS3 carries all the family members out of the car, attaches itself to the nearest fire hydrant and extinguishes the car. Srsly mine just did that
  • Tivor, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14Against my better judgment, I'm having a terrible urge to say, "but will it blend?"
  • Feep, on 10/10/2007, -3/+15If any console is "Harry Potter", it's the Wii; casual readers embrace Harry Potter. Buried for making no damn sense.
  • blaser, on 10/10/2007, -5/+14What a sad git. Get a life and stop going around posting on every ps3 story
  • givemereplay, on 10/10/2007, -11/+20The PS3-

    It might be able to drive a car, but it is still too expensive and doesn't have any good games.
  • jedikv, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Obssessive fans are never a good thing - for anything.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9http://www.emediawire.com/releases/2007/8/emw544282.htm

  • E7ernal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Yay - Mr. Obvious ruins the joke
  • Fraff5, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8No... the PS3 doesn't suck...
  • KyleMistry, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9A human could do it to. The point of this story was to show that they actually GOT the PS3 to do it.

    You get the Wii to do this, then submit it and it'll get dugg too.
  • Days, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Somebody pee in your Wheaties this morning?
  • Urusai, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11CAN I HAS COMEBACK?
  • Tivor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Apparently it has excellent "driver" support now.
  • Tairnyn, on 10/10/2007, -3/+11Computers driving cars is so easy that they decided to shake things up a bit and work on a computer driving a car.
  • s1mph0ny, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9how about that nintendo just sold you an overclocked gamecube with a gimmick controller?
  • Zettabyte, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Why do even bother, how hard is it not to talk *****? If you are not interested. GTFO
  • cyberghost232, on 10/10/2007, -5/+12Didn't wanna use a 360 so the car wouldn't overheat.
  • themacx, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9call me when it serves a beer
  • arjie, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8NO U!
  • xelloss, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Didn't Saddam Hussein buy a bunch of PS2's because they thought they could guide missiles? Better not let Iran know about these PS3's!
  • tito13kfm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+62.0.19 kernel of linux added nearly full support for the cell processor of the ps3.
  • KyleMistry, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Badump chsh.

  • E7ernal, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7BOO-URN
  • beckermt, on 10/10/2007, -7/+11THE PS3!! SO AMAZING IT'S ACTUALLY A COMPUTER!!!1oneOMG
    Seriously? they're using the PS3 to do calculations... because it's a computer, holy crap hell, that's not even remotely newsworthy.
  • craggatt, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8its funny that whenever a ps3 story is posted on digg everyone jumps onboard to bash it. Meanwhile every xbox 360 is basically faulty from the factory.

    i have no beef with the wii
  • esotericguy, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7logged in just to digg that
  • Tippis, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5See, this is why it's important to give the comments a quick look-through to see if there is actually any meat to the story...
  • beermaker, on 10/10/2007, -4/+8what is the big deal about this. the robots who went to mars had much less technology than that expensive useless piece of crap
  • PhantasmXD, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4WOW! I can feel the hatred of the PS3 floating in the air. From a completely neutral standing point, I'm impressed they could use a gaming system to navigate/steer a car (the less user input needed and the faster the speed of the car, the more impressive). Unless this system is nearing traffic-ready status, they're just toying around and to that i say.... meh =/
  • MillionsLivio, on 10/10/2007, -21/+24I have to honestly say, the PS3 is the Harry Potter of consoles. Utterly sick of hearing about it nonestop from obessed fans when the casual gamer could care less.
  • Khojigybarra, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4the chick on the right in that picture is hot.
