this looks interesting. i see it says "suzuki alto" and the gif shows indian side which is making me think that the recording is based out of india.

uh... suzuki alto is like the cheapest car. how is it moving the steering wheel?

    Author of post here, yes it's based out of India. The vehicle is a modified research vehicle with retrofitted motors with torque control to control steering.

      What's the wireless canbus adapter you using?

      cool. i'd want to try it. if you could sell kits, that'd be awesome. plus, use something like osm to figure out the road before taking it,road changes and stuff from there because it seems like a nice stable platform to get and store data on.

      this is nice

interesting concept, so how has the heat handling been on device ? I think its going to be running on full capacity of the hardware.

    It does gets throttled without heatsink after 1-2 hours if used continuously. Though heatsink is good enough to keep it cool for longer drives. Also depends on what phone you are using. More powerful phone = less overheating
