Ford is working on a remote 4G vehicle.
Former Apple engineer led Ford’s new R & D center in Silicon Valley. Under his leadership, 125 employees whom the company plans to hire will be engaged in software development, voice control and remote control of the car.
Ford opened a new research and development center in Silicon Valley, the second after 2012. The company has high hopes for the new center because Dragos Maciuca , a former senior systems engineer at Apple, headed it. The company plans to hire 125 employees. The company will continue to develop software and will develop partnerships with other high-tech companies.

Among the plans for Ford - the introduction of remote control systems of the car. Last week, software developer Sudipto Aich placed monitors on the table, set the game pedal wheel from Logitech and ran a golf car parked in Atlanta almost two and a half thousand miles from the scene. This is one of the twenty-five tasks that the company has set for its employees.
Remote control cars are not as impressive as unmanned vehicles , and does not give the advantages of the absence of a person behind the wheel. But this is another alternative that will allow one day to take his grandmother to the airport without leaving home. It's like driving a quadrocopter, with only wheels and a very large size.
One of the important factors - the new technology will not be expensive. The developer used a controller from Logitech, which costs about $ 300. All the necessary sensors are easily accessible. The system is easy to connect to a modern car, especially to an electric car like a golf car. You do not need a physical mechanism that will turn the steering wheel and press the pedals. In this case, the implementation is possible in the existing 4G LTE network.
There are a number of technology applications that the company is already considering. Car rental companies can use the system to move vehicles in parking lots. Car sharing services will be able to distribute transport in the necessary areas. By inviting elderly parents to a holiday, you can bring them to your car or hire a company to do this.
It's time to wait for the seizure "Gone in 60 seconds", in which Nicolas Cage sits at home on the couch and steals 50 cars.
