Not the same thing, but I was pretty into TORCS for a while. It's a computer racing simulator that can be used like an ordinary video game (not the best.) But the cool part is that you can create cars that drive themselves. Race them against each other and even enter them in races with cars created by other people.

Kids these days... They ambush a political figure on the street trying to get them to say something they can put a spin on and then they get their panties in a wad when he gets a little handsy.

"State police said Gilson’s children, ages 3 and 5, were inside her car, but not secured in car seats, on the afternoon of April 6 when they stopped her after she was clocked driving 124 mph on the Maine Turnpike.

... Gilson did not seem to understand why she was being arrested and declined to say where she was going in such a hurry."
