WiDrive is a project that allows users to control a car from any mobile device or over the Internet, it also promises complete immersion by allowing a driver to virtually drive the car via video glasses.

This is done by creating an Arduino based Wi-Fi server on the remote control car that allows the car to be controlled over Wi-Fi.

An iPhone or iPad app allows the car to be controlled remotely, whilst a wireless camera transmits video-to-video glasses.

Gavin notes on his : "One of the things I really wanted to support within this project is allowing other people to contribute to it. So As of December 25th, I shall be releasing the code onto GitHub for every one to enjoy as a Christmas present."
