Driving a car using your phone
« on: November 14, 2009, 11:31 »
Researchers in Germany have developed software that allows you to drive a car - with a mobile phone.

It is part of project aimed at creating a fully automated vehicle.  The BBC's Berlin correspondent Steve Rosenberg tried it out.

Of course, it had to be a bloody iPhone!   ;D

Early days but it will happen.  Humans will not be allowed to drive cars in the not too distant future.  Jeremy will be very annoyed!   ;D
