iPhone Controls your Car in Real Time
Posted on: January 15, 2008I saw this video clip over at the Gizmodo website where they demonstrate an iPhone web app (through Safari) that lets you start your car, roll down the windows, get diagnostics on your car, etc., all with your iPhone. I WANT THIS YESTERDAY!
I can’t embed the video clip here, but I have included their short summary below and it is well worth the 60 seconds viewing time to click on the link and check it out.
iPhone Controls Vehicle in Real Time Using Delphi’s Concept Web App
The chaps at Delphi were just showing us a cool concept; they were using a web app on an iPhone to control a GMC Acadia vehicle. The prototype on display was able to check the automobiles vital stats, open and close windows, retain user configurations for seating options and even start the ignition. Check out the video of it in action after the jump.
The iPhone takes control of these options remotely, which could be dangerous, but as it is only at concept stage, we are sure Delphi will work out the nooks in the system. Either way, we imagine this will give rise to a whole new motor sport; racing real cars with Wi-Fi connected iPhones—sweet. Make it happen, Delphi.
