路虎近日发布了遥控揽胜运动版原型车。这款主要用于研究的车型展示了驾驶员如何在车外通过智能手机操控车辆。这个手机APP可以控制方向盘，油门踏板和制动并可在高速和低速行驶之间切换。据开发该软件的公司透露，这个APP可以让驾驶员在“富有挑战性”的环境下灵活操控车辆。此外，如果车辆在停车场与旁边车靠得太近，无法打开车门，驾驶员还可以利用智能手机操控车辆从停车场倒出来。驾驶员还可以站在车辆旁边查看即将通过的陡坡，并根据接近角和离去角精准操控车辆上下坡。

 

Remote-controlled Range Rover Sport revealed

Jaguar Land Rover has unveiled its Range Rover Sport remote-controlled prototype.

 

The research vehicle demonstrates how a driver could drive the vehicle from outside the car via a smartphone. The phone app includes control of steering, accelerator and brakes, as well as changing from high and low range. According to the company, this would allow the driver to manoeuvre his car out of “challenging situations” safely, or even to negotiate “difficult off-road terrain.” 

 

JLR also says the driver could use the smartphone to reverse the car out of a parking space if someone has parked too close for them to open the door. By walking alongside the car, the driver could also continually check ramp, approach and departure angles and allow precise positioning of the vehicle when rock crawling.
