Driving a car with an iPhone.
- tomjen2 17y agoI want to say a lot of things but right now, all I can say is supercool.
- dredge 17y agoThis reminds me of a YouTube video I saw a while back: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiLoANg6nNY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FiLoANg6nNY I assume it's fake though... if only because that's my default position on these things!
- Timothee 17y agoCool video. I can't tell if it's fake or not… On one hand, I don't see how they would risk a Formula 1 car with that kind of stunt. On the other hand, well… there isn't anybody in it! (and it's probably not a big deal to develop for a Formula One engineering team)
- anguslong 17y agoHere in Austin, TX -- anything is possible. Keen engineering, Waterloo Labs!
- RK 17y agoLabView was used by city ordinance.
- bmalicoat 17y agoThat is really neat. Seems they didn't have the brakes set to fail-safe though. "BRAKES!"
- tkahn6 17y agoIt says on their site that they use UDP for sending/receiving steering and breaking commands (among other things). I would assume they have some major redundancy on each command. Would it not be smarter to use TCP to control a car?
- chrischen 17y agoI would think UDP would be better, since they are not concerned with perfect data integrity, just as long as the data gets there before they hit something.
- roc 17y ago... a horrible car remote?
- roc 17y agoA Dr Horrible joke falls on deaf ears in a geek forum? /sigh
- arohner 17y agoThat'll teach me to scoff at Bond. The first thing I thought of was Bond driving his car in Tomorrow Never Dies (10ish years ago), with a device that looks suspiciously like an iPhone.
- GrandMasterBirt 17y agoYea back that it all looked so futuristic. All we really need is a gyrosensor and some processing power. The iPhone app aint anything amazingly special, its the hardware they built that is :P Wait, no its not.
