Land Rover Defender could come with remote-control technology
AutoExec Summary
Land Rover is planning to introduce a remote control option for its upcoming new Defender, allowing owners to drive at low speeds from outside the car. The technology would rely on the latest generation Activity Key and could be used for off-road maneuvers and tight spots. However, the company faces the challenge of obtaining government approval for this radical remote control technology. While some cars currently allow basic driving into or out of a parking spot remotely, broader remote control, including steering, is not yet approved by legislation. Land Rover is in discussions with regulatory authorities regarding this technology and other driver assistance features.
