Thats awesome! Before I just wanted to be able to turn my car on/lock/unlock doors via my phone. Now i want to drive it with my phone.

BenTrovato · 01-21-2011, 09:20 AM

i would switch over to nokia for this!

UdubBadger · 01-21-2011, 09:46 AM

maybe they could try controlling a toyotas braking system next...

AMASIAN · 01-21-2011, 09:52 AM

When I see something like this, I don't think I'm asking too much to get my seatbelt chime deactivated...

Hind · 01-21-2011, 10:04 AM

Wow, that looked too easy. +1 for seatbelt chime

DriveHard · 01-21-2011, 10:06 AM

Dont the guys from MYTH-BUSTERS do this all the Time ?????

way cool from a phone rather than a Model airplane remote control i guess..

The video was very well produced. I enjoyed watching it.

kmarei · 01-21-2011, 10:27 AM

wow
"there's an app for that"

BimmersMania · 01-21-2011, 10:28 AM

Someone on YouTube mentioned it's possibly fake (he mentioned the plane was certainly fake) and I was upset. I don't want to think it's fake. So I watched it again a few more times.

Looking at 2:30 and you will see the steering wheel spinning with a sound like the car is moving. The speedometer however was at "0" and the shot seems to be from someone taking it by standing outside the car. I don't know if the remote control is fake but the video was edited at 2:30 to insert the sound that's unreal.

there is no way these guys went through all this effort for a fake video. I have seen many half-ass fake phone-driving videos, but this is legit.

Splendidly done!
