Always true, but I doubt that they would leave the current system behind
just as they're on the brink of getting trains to become readily-available
to the mass market (at least where there's a Target) and thus having their
popularity shoot up. It wouldn't make sense, not from any standpoint.

Great idea, but don't IR recievers have to have LOS with the transmitter to
recieve commands? There'd be no unobtrusive way to stash the reciever
without miniaturizing it.
