Another interesting found, courtesy of ZTH.
The premise is simple: two F1 fans hack a McLaren RC car to run off Bluetooth, using their Blackberry Storm to control it. They run the “Office GP” over the weekend, instead of the “important work” they were supposed to do.
The two working lads, Simon and Steve, are supposed to look like two normal guys who have a good time and upload the fun to YouTube. Then McLaren bosses see the video, and decide to have a word.
McLaren decides to adapt the video full-scale, by installing Bluetooth receivers on Lewis Hamilton’s car. Much to the amazement of Simon and Steve, Hamilton himself shows up to the track in Portugal and takes the car for a spin, remotely using his Blackberry Storm to control the McLaren MP4-24 racer.
So is it real, or not? Well, considering BMW did the same thing with Hewlett Packard and there are countless videos and demonstrations of driver-less cars driving around, we don’t see how this could not happen.

So, sounds too cool to believe it? I'll let the video decide it for you. Roger and out!
