Hmmm... Did Duncan Mackenzie control any cars? I( don't remember. I do remember that a Belter came to Earth in a Larry Niven story and was shocked to witness people racing (manually) internal combustion vehicles on the abandoned LA freeways. Apparently a lot of writers have thought of this one. Here in San Diego there is a stretch of commuter lane on the I-15 that has something embedded in it, it's not uncommon to see automatically piloted GM prototype vehicles speeding along (look, ma no hands!).
