Smartphone-Controlled Cars

The Remote Control Range Rover Sport is utilizing mobile technology in a way that's at once unique and not unique. Although the idea of a remote-controlled car has been explored in many spy movies, most car companies are focusing on car-to-car technology, beacon devices and smart dashboards instead of bringing such advances to the real world.

Yet Land Rover has decided to do just that to shake things up in the auto industry. The Remote Control Range Rover Sport is fitted with a prototype technology that allows the car to be driven remotely with a smartphone. It works with a custom app that accesses the steering, accelerator, brakes as well as a high and low gear option.
