Ever felt that you wanted to play with an RC car but you thought you would look ridiculous in the park playing like a twelve-year-old? You can still do this, but with a full-size car now, as this Russians shows it’s not impossible if you really want it.
A group of technology and car enthusiast Russians took a first generation Opel Vectra and modified it so that it can be driven with an iPad. In order to do so, they installed electric actuators to operate the steering wheel, gear-stick and the pedals. Also, a dashboard camera was fitted so that you can see o the tablet where you are going.

The app looks like it's not refined yet, as it is applying too much or too less force on the brake/acceleration pedal. You can see that by the fact that the car smudges a lot.
