SlashDot is currently discussing an article which attempts to use GPS data collected from real racing cars, and ingest them into video games to allow gamers to race against real race car drivers. From their summary : "The BBC has a story about a company aiming to pit gamers against the professionals. iOpener Media has a patented system that sucks in real-time GPS data from racing events and pumps it out to compatible games consoles and PCs. This means you can race in real-time against the like of Lewis Hamilton, Felipe Massa and Kimi Raikkonen. The company also claims to have an AI that solves the problem of overtaking and crashes."
