I love the concept, but three things make me doubt the demo: 1. Erasing an arc of the circle - touch screens are not optical devices, so the car would need to convert the signal for a large smudge and interpret it as the removal of an arc (unlikely). 2. City drive - it is highly unlikely that the observed positional accuracy could be obtained from the quick sketch on the car (unless the drawing on the table was done after the route was determined). 3. Size - touch screen, CPU, battery (e.g. a small PDA) + motor, radio control, etc. I don't think it would fit in the small package. In addition, it would likely cost about as much as a PDA.

Maybe the design team should clarify the fact that this is just a concept demo and the cars are not functional. They still can enjoy the recognition they deserve for a great idea.
