iPhone-controlled electric car to demo at Geneva Motor Show

“It can send e-mails, play video, access the Web and snap pictures, but control a car? Swiss automobile design house Rinspeed will unveil a concept electric car controlled by an iPhone at next week’s Geneva Motor Show,” Martyn Williams reports for IDG News Service.

“The iChange ditches car keys in favor of an iPhone, which clips into a holder on the dashboard to the right or left of the steering wheel,” Williams reports. “Once connected a green ‘start’ button appears on the iPhone’s display and one push brings the iChange automobile to life.”
