Chinese Automaker Launches Remote-Control Family Car

cylonlover writes "When we think of remote control cars, we generally think of scaled-down vehicles that can easily get caught up underfoot. Not so Chinese automaker BYD, which has upsized the remote control car with the release of its Su Rui model in China. The mid-size family saloon that seats five includes Remote Driving Control technology that allows the driver to get out of the car and drive it using the included remote control 'key.'"

"Saloon" is a term used in some English-speaking countries for what people in other English-speaking countries call a "sedan": a passenger automobile with four doors.

Those of us in the United States don't consider the English "English Speaking". Saloon is where you go to toss back a few after a hard day of work. Confusing a car with a place to get hammered after work may explain why the English drive on the wrong side of the road.

Look in the mirror as the rest of the world often have that opinion of the USA, e.g:

Football = In 99.9% of the world a game involving a round ball being kicked around... in USA - doh!!!

Bathroom = In 99.9% of the world a room where you go to shower, wash with water.... in USA room where you go empty your body of fluids etc - doh!

You are welcome to stick to "American English", meanwhile the rest of global world will continue to use "International English" which incidently has origins in "English English".

It's just that America decided to go off and do more of it's own thing, when you guys feel like rejoining the party please let the rest of the world know. However rather than joining the rest of the world by using the correct word for football (rather than soccer), you might want to start with metric measurements, e.g. http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn17350-nasa-criticised-for-sticking-to-imperial-units.html [slashdot.org]">so NASA don't loose more rockets due to imperial units.... /sarcasm ;-) [note: pointed out as us Europeans know that you have problems spotting it at times.... just kidding I do have lots of US friends but those are folks with passports. I would suggest getting yourself one...!]
