I first found out about this from a commercial I saw on TBS.

That's brilliant, and kind of idiotic.
It's awesome that technology has come that far, where you can remotely control a car from your own computer. Even though I'm sure there will be more than a few crashes, with a keyboard not reproducing the same sensitivity of a car's actual controls.
But the idiotic part: what's the point of driving it online? You get no feel for the car. Maybe it's not as smooth a ride as you want. Maybe the brakes aren't as responsive as you need. An online test drive doesn't provide tactile feedback.
It's cool in theory, but I don't see the use.

In a world of modern technology, instead of working on realistic goals to better humanity, we get a online test drive for a car. 
It's brilliant!
It's brilliant!"Oh, if you see him coming get away if you can. Just keep on running, run as fast you can. He's a dangerous, dangerous man. And he's out tonight. And he's watching you. And he knows your house. Ki ki ki ma ma ma. No, don't turn out the light. Yeah causes hes back. He's the man behind the mask. And he's out of control." -Alice Cooper
