Remember that smart German iPhone-controlled car that used cameras, GPS, and lasers to perfectly run through the streets of Berlin? Well, screw German efficient engineering. That's not how we do things in America. Here we modify battered, crappy cars—like this 1988 Oldsmobile Delta—in just four weeks using "a few motors, potentiometers, a Compact RIO embedded controller, and LabVIEW," which get connected...

Is there anything the iPhone can't do? Sure you can store your files, add contacts, and play Civilization Revolution on it but did you know you could drive your car with it? The lads from Engineer Awesome rigged up a Oldsmobile Delta 88 to run entirely by remote control and then created an iPhone app so they could drive the sucker with a few choice taps and swipes.

A lot of people have been impressed with how you can find an app for everything. What about driving yoru car? With this (very) ambitious DIY project you can drive a car with your iPhone. Why use your iPhone as merely an accessory to your car? You can flat out control it with this crazy DIY modification. Check out the video below to see how the mad scientists at Waterloo Labs modified a car—definitely...

Give nerds enough time and they'll come up with some crazy stuff. Example: this Oldsmobile Delta modified with servo actuators and operated wirelessly via iPhone. Of course, with that working, it only makes sense to go car-surfing. [ Gizmodo ]

We’ve seen Apple’s iPhone control a variety of device before, including remote controlled cars, but what about a full sized car? Well, that’s what the folks over at Waterloo Labs set out to do (and achieved). Check out the video above. We certainly don’t encourage you to try this at home.

Filed under: Hacks , How-tos , iPhone Here at TUAW we've seen lots of uses for the iPhone as a remote control , but if you were watching and thinking that those projects were way too safe, then the guys at Waterloo Labs have got you covered. They approached the project with a low budget and DIY attitude, building a low-cost (relatively speaking) car that is controlled by a first generation iPhone....

While I’d never advocate this hack from a safety perspective, it’s one of the most amazing uses of an iPhone I’ve seen yet. The real magic is in all of the motors and gizmos to make it work, but Make shows that the Do It Yourselfers at Waterloo Labs are actually driving a car using [...]

This is by no means the first time we’ve seen someone drive a car with an iPhone – but it is the first time we’ve seen it done by a bunch of dudes (and one cute chick) in lab coats using wrenches as robotic feet. Plus, they surf on the car and crash through boxes all [...]

Controlling a car via the iPhone is pretty old news at this point, but the boys (and girls) at Waterloo Labs have modded an old ass, broke ass Oldsmobile using every day parts to control the vehicle using the handset. If the Teenwolf Styles move (aka surfing the car) isn’t enough for you, check the [...]

We’ve previously reported on sophisticated systems that allow drivers to control vehicles through iPhone applications, but the team at Waterloo Labs decided to take the B-movie, low-budget route for their high-tech remote-controlled car. Their vehicle certainly is not getting a...

Waterloo Labs has now invented an iPhone app that allows you to drive your car with an iPhone, or a toy car designed for children to drive. In the app, there is a slider for the brakes, a slider for the gas, and you can tilt the iPhone left and right to steer. The video above explains a little bit about how they did it, but Waterloo Labs created another video designed to show you how to make a iPhone...
