Researchers in Germany have come up with an iPhone app that allows motorists to drive a car using their mobile phone.
The iDriver app converts the iPhone into a the real-life equivalent of a video game controller, capable of directing a two ton minivan, reports the Daily Telegraph.
The app has separate buttons for accelerate and brake, along with a steering wheel that exploits the iPhone’s motion-sensitive capabilities.
Its instructions are sent to the specially-rigged car over Wi-Fi, with the “driver” able to navigate from a distance with the help of live video stream from a camera on the roof.
