If you thought only James Bond could control his car using a smartphone, think again. We have already seen the Parrot AR Drone helicopter that can be controlled using an iPhone; in the video that follows, we see a stunt driver drive a car using two Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc smartphones. The only difference is that he isn't away from the car as James Bond, nor does he require a Wi-Fi network like iPhone controlled AR Drone.

Our stunt driver in the video sits in a car with blacked-out windscreens and windows. The front windscreen however has two XPERIA Arc smartphones fitted with the cameras facing the outside. The driver uses the display of the smartphones as a stereo view of the outside.

To make things more interesting, the driver isn't driving on a regular course, but a dirt track with a rough terrain.

Enjoy the video below!
