Was everyone required to try out? Then how do you know you were the best?

Perhaps some rephrasing is in order.What I mean to say is the people who get all in a tizzy about driving are not the people you want driving. What you need is the person who doesn't really want to be driver, but won't cave under pressure or loath the assignment. They should be able to calmy and quickly execute the instructions of your strategist.

Basically, if you've got a good robot, it's intuitive enough that anyone can drive it, so why give it to some giddy exciteable person whose clamoring for the job?

Oh, and even though I have zero evidence to back this up, I'd tend to lean towards female drivers.
