iPhone-Controlled Car Goes Low Budget

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 good crash-test rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and it doesn’t help matters that the mechanics choose to perch on the car’s roof and hood while driving.

Check out the video after the jump to see how the guys at Waterloo did it using a first-generation iPhone (and yes, that is a wrench depressing the gas pedal).
