The Spirit of Berlin team has developed an iPhone app to remotely control a minivan.
The ‘iDriver’ app connects with the driving circuitry via WiFi and offers a gas button, a brake button, and a steering button to enable the accelerometer for turning. The front camera video is transmitted to the iPhone in real-time.
The van can also drive itself, by way of technologies developed for the 2007 DARPA Urban Grand Challenge autonomous vehicle race (the van was their entry). Packed inside are a stack of IBM Blade servers, video cameras, 3D laser sensors and GPS for positioning, as well as the drive-by-wire system that enables the iDriver app’s functionality.
Anyway, you just want to watch the video right? Right.
g8 man its relay cool . plz fit this remote oon my car .

Why can’t people just drive their cars the usual way? Beats me…
You do realise this has been done before years and years ago.
Why is it that everytime someone copies some idea on the iphone that everyone suddenly thinks it’s some cool new invention. This is nothing new and neither is anything else about the itoy.
