Germans have taken apps for iPads to a whole new level! Apple Hot News even captured it on video!
A team from Germany is headlining iPad news with a taxi-cab that can drive itself with the simple click of a button. This sounds so amazing and cool but exactly how does it work you ask? Well all of the magic comes directly from an iPad application.
You simply put in the coordinates that you want the car to drive to and that’s it! The un-manned car uses a variety of laser scanners, cameras, radars and GPS systems that seems to work out really well with this experiment. The test vehicle is appropriately stamped “Made in Germany” for the world to see, although I do still have my doubts. You can track the cars exact location via the iPadapplication and when the car arrives at your location you can then re-input the data and redirect the car with you in it.
