RC car hacked to be computer-controlled – the Autonomous Drifter
The Autonomous Drifter is a project from Chris of PyroElectro, who transformed a regular RC car into a computer-controlled car.
Only the remote was actually modified (through a process explained in detail over on the site), and by connecting it to a laptop the car can be keyboard-controlled. In order to make it “autonomous” like the name says, you have to use a free script and input commands (such as a “W” to indicate the car should move forward, followed by the amount of time it should do that, and so on). Getting it to do something really impressive probably takes a lot of time and skill, though.
This video shows both modes of operation.
