Sony Computer Entertainment Europe just registered for a new patent that lays the framework for a system in which the PlayStation Portable will be used to operate a camera-mounted car remotely.

Level-5 is the author of the immensely popular title, White Knight Story, as well as a game still in development named Ushiro.
