A technician maneuvers "The Spirit of Berlin," a converted Dodge minivan that, via an iPhone app, allows the controller to remotely operate the steering, brakes, and accelerator while looking "through the windshield" on the phone's screen. The car can reportedly be manipulated from as far away as the fourth floor of a building.
