The relatively new Nokia C7 has been turned into a remote control device for a BMW car would you believe. The two Chinese inventors (An Jiaxuan and his friend) decided it would be a bit of fun to mod the device and play about with what they could control.
Previously the device had been used to control household lights, air conditioning, cameras and remote control cars before they switched to a fully functioning BMW and rigged this up to work with the C7.
The genius duo spent 20 days working on the software code alone and after this they moved their attention on to the electronic components that would be mounted into the car. Using the C7 they could then control braking, acceleration and of course steering.
As you can see from the video, they have done a pretty good job of it too. This could of course be a hoax, but a similar venture was carried out on Mythbusters a while back, though if memory serves me their solution looked a little less sophisticated than the BMW project.
However, have a look at the video below and you can make your own mind up, either way it looks pretty cool to me.
