Controlling a car with an iPod seems like something take out of a fairytale or of a science fiction movie. But a man who is bound to set new standards, Jonathan Over, has just proven that it is possible and it can be done with the help of his newly invented program. He showed the world how he can not only write about stuff in technical publications, but also create strange yet futuristic devices.
The software programs he has developed and installed on the iPod can show the user the exact horse power a car has, the speed you’re driving at, fuel level, temperature, water levels and so on. It also performs basic functions like closing or locking the doors, opening them, turning on and off the engine, the front lights and many more.
The car’s computer is linked to a small laptop with the installed software that has a 3G modem attached. This is how the iPod becomes a remote control for the car. It’s wonderful that people will be able to open the car’s doors or close then even if they left the car at home and they are already two cities away. But we must consider the safety here. What if someone hacks into the system? If the car can be controlled so well, then probably the audio system can also be tracked, maybe people could listen to our conversations.
You have to consider safety and accuracy before getting something like this for your car. But if by any chance it becomes something huge you will also need a iPod fm transmitter charger so that the functionality of the device is truly around the clock. It would be too funny to use such a sophisticated program and run off battery on the iPod.
It’s amazing to understand where things are right now, with all the new inventions and technologies available. No one though that iPod would appear when they did, and now, no one even dreamt of making a remote control for a car out of an iPod. And still, the fact is here and is true, which makes us think about tomorrow’s breakthrough.
