Do you remember that scene in James Bond “Tomorrow Never Dies”? The one where Bond is corned by bad guys and has to drive his signature BMW with his cellphone?
Yeah that one.
Well Nokia Asian hired to two Chinese software programmers; An Jiaxuan and his associate, to create a program for the Nokia C7 that can remote control a BMW 1 Series. While it might not control fancy Bond gadgets like missiles or road spikes, it certainly more impressive than Pandora radio integration.
According to the programming team, it took them 20 day of software coding and development and testing on various platforms such as remote control toys to air conditioning units. After coding and testing they moved on to the real thing; setting up the BMW to communicate be controlled by the Nokia C7. After that they tested the system in a vacant lot and it seemed to work pretty well.
The only thing I could think of during the whole demonstration was how Mythbusters already did it except they used a remote control system to physically control the steering wheel and not the car itself.
