Remote Control Driving: There’s an App for That!

Even though I’m a huge James Bond fan, the movies starring Pierce Brosnan never really did it for me.  There were some great scenes, to be sure, but overall I think they were a little too cheesy and gadget-laden.  That said, the scene in Tomorrow Never Dies where 007 uses a mobile phone to drive his BMW 7 Series from the back seat was awesome. So when I saw that the Spirit of Berlin—which has been building a fully autonomous vehicle—had created an iPhone app to control one of their projects, I  was totally intrigued. Even if you’re scared of being enslaved by the machines like I am, you have to admit this this pretty rad. Check out how just tilting the phone turns the wheel!
