Think about the coolest cars you've seen in movies, commercials, and video games. Classics muscle cars to the impossible ones like Batmobiles. Now how do that get on screen? For a long time they have had to find or build one, and when the cars are bound to be destroyed (making for a great action scene) the costs adds up in a hurry. To avoid that we know that more and more movie makers have been digitally created the car scenes with CGI but even then, sometimes it just doesn't look quite right. Sometimes its moving wrong, others there are no reflections off the body of the car. So how do we fix the problem? Special Effects company The Mill decided they wanted to have a car that could be anything you wanted it to be. The Blackbird can be programmed to physically act as a different car, and then use its onboard sensors and special effects software to make sure the CGI version of itself looks just as real as the driving at a fraction of the cost.
