* Remote control cars … from China!

In a range of 10 meters (roughly 30 feet), the driver can start the car, move it forward and back plus turn it both left and right – all at a restricted speed of 2 kilometers per hour, which equates to about 1.2 mph. The car’s climate control system can also be controlled via the remote device as well, BYD said... The car also comes equipped with Bosch’s ninth generation electronic stability technology, a tire pressure monitoring system, electronic parking brakes, blind spot visibility systems, color reversing video surveillance systems, remote control power windows, 13 types of intelligent voice guides and a 5.1 channel, 10 speaker system with independent power amplification for what BYD calls an “in-car cinema experience” like no other... BYD is selling its new Su Rui sedan equipped with the remote driving system with a starting price of 65,900 yuan – roughly $10,365 – for the base model equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine...
