no the laser pointers would be connected to quad-copters so that the
self-driving cats can just follow the laser dots
on the road. Dot moves, self-driving cat moves. All very simple.
You could even MIMO the laser off of the quad-copter so that you could
control multiple cats.
And in the laser pulses we would encode additional data to allow the catnip
dispensers to operate.
Since those are the fuel systems.
All in all, drugged out kitties running around controlled by SkyNet
