My comment was tongue-in-cheek.
It seems they're coming up with more things to add degrees of separation from operator and train in the name of "fun."
And of course, only funky remotes and smart phone apps will bring the young'uns into the hobby.
I wonder how many new model railroaders "Battle Train" (remember that?) brought into the hobby.
