Range Rover Sports developed vehicle that can be steered with smartphone.


I am stuck in the mountain path of the deco boko.


"Drive ... ..." the driver came down.


We pulled out smartphone and started maneuvering.



Steering is turned off ... ....


I began to slowly move forward. The driver gets off and you can advance the car while checking whether the side or bottom of the bumper does not touch.


In remote control of a smartphone, it is possible to control the steering operation, accelerator / brake operation, speed adjustment operation, and the maximum speed is limited to 4 mph (about 6.4 km / h) per hour.


Also, if the person wearing the smart key leaves 10 meters from the vehicle or if there is a danger of contact, the system automatically stops.


Trouble near the top of the slope next time.


It is a situation where it can not be confirmed if the side slip touches the ground or not from outside.


Even in this case trouble can be avoided by steering while checking the situation with a smartphone.


Driving carefully is OK.


I feel like "Okay, good."


Take a breath on "Fu" and get on.


Drive restarted.


At the parking lot ......


A situation where the next car can not get in and get on the way.


Take out the smartphone with "boy" ...


Tap back button.


Range Rover slowly backed up.


It is safe to move the car safely while checking from the outside, such as whether there are dangerous items behind the vehicle or not hit the side.


In addition, Land Rover develops a "semi" automatic driving function called "multipoint turn".


Range Rover stops. I need to make a U - turn.


One tap on the dashboard tablet.


When the driver releases his hand from the steering wheel ......


The steering wheel automatically starts rotating ......


How U-turn started automatically.


Cut back in the opposite direction ...


This time it retreats. I understand that you are getting close to the road.


Even in the forward direction, it is a splendid turn using the full width of the road.


It is okay if you are waiting in a carp streaming hammer.


U-turn completed successfully.


Drive restart.


Land Rover's smartphone maneuvering function and semi-automatic driving function,Automatic driving car under development by Google etc.It is very realistic compared with the technology, the degree of completion of the technical seems to be high, so it seems that we can expect practical application in the near future.
