Yes you read right, Swiss Automobile Design House Rinspeed unveiled a concept electric car controlled by an iPhone at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The car will also have the possibility to adapt its body to the number of passengers in the car. It’s creatively called iChange.
It’s got a sweet interior to say the least! The iPhone (as you can see in the screenshot above) is located on the dashboard. It controls the car’s air-conditioning system, as well as the “next-gen” Harman Kardon speaker system and the GPS.
This was just the first step in iPhone car controlling. In October a team at the Freie University in Berlin actually rigged a car so it can be fully controlled with an iPhone. It’s an incredible step in computer programming and mechanical engineering which could lead to great things. I mean remember that Bond Scene with the remote controlled car in The World is not enough? Well of course you do, you’ve been picturing that scene since I first mentioned remote control car. Here’s a video on how it works, it is so awesome!
