Check it out, all you budding G. Gordon Liddys — if the usual assortment of spy gadgets isn’t doing the job, Sony’s got something in the works that should be right up your alley. According to a little site called Siliconera, Sony’s European arm has filed a patent for a remote-controlled car uses the PSP as an interface. This bad boy is equipped with a camera that feeds video back to the hand held and allows the user to upload the footage to a website. If that weren’t all, the patent makes mention of an augmented reality racing game incorporating virtual markers and paths that the players physically create — that is, the junk in your apartment is incorporated into on-screen game play. Innocent fun, right? Well, perhaps — at least until Iran gets involved. They’re still pretty bent by the whole squirrel thing.
