The importance of studying the statistics of the occurrence of superluminal motion in an unbiased sample of radio sources is stressed, and methods for selecting such samples are reviewed. The weak radio cores of quasars exhibiting extended, double-lobed emission can be used for this purpose. Recent studies of the superluminal motion in the core of 3C 179, a quasar selected from such a sample, are described.
