I have several thoughts on this.

1. Why the 100km specification? If you can control it from 100km away, surely you can control it from anywhere? Though lag might be a factor, I suppose.

2. Why is an airline sponsoring this? Do they see the writing on the wall?

3. Hand brake, not hand break.

4. This is a technology I explore in my novella Gu: http://csidemedia.com/gu. Among the implications: if people can live in one country and work in another, that does interesting things to migration, labour, the cost of housing, and people’s relationship to timezones.
