UAE to introduce robot jockeys in camel races - Peninsula On-line

"With the introduction of this law and the production of the first generation of robot jockeys in August this year, the UAE will have adhered to the international regulations governing camel-racing while at the same time preserving the traditional character of camel races as a popular local heritage."

UPDATE: More from The Virtual FormGuide.

UPDATE 2: Via Marginal Revolution comes an action photo from Geek Press. Marginal revolution - think about it. A great name befitting that blog.

REFLECTION: I've got something to add here.
