iPhone Controlled Car : iDriver

Posted By Mr.Gadget  Published in Apple, Funny Gadgets, iPhone

Who in their right mind would want to be a passenger in an iPhone Controlled Car?! What if the battery dies or the iPhone crashes? Despite my obvious struggle to think of any logical reasons for this, looks like some academics at a German university think it has some merits. They’ve named it, of course, iDriver.

Check out the video below – I loved the Wario music at the end.

P.S. I thought of a good application for this – when you find a spider in  your car but don’t know where it crawled to!!

iDriver Description

iDriver is an iPhone application to remote control a car. Go to http://www.spiritofberlin.eu for more information on “Spirit of Berlin”, a completely autonomous vehicle by the Freie Universität Berlin. It is equipped with various sensors and a drive-by-wire system for unmanned driving. iDriver is an addon to remote control the car with an iPhone. Powered by Appirion UG (http://www.appirion.com).

Pretty stupid, I feel. But I wonder how the accelerator and brake works. If I were to hold the button, it will keep on accelerate. But If I were to release the button will it slow down? Then how do I move with constant speed? Hmm..
