A while back I mentioned that some clever people had put together a setup that allowed them to control their RC car with an Apple iPhone. If a recent patent application is anything to go by then it looks like Sony have the same aspirations for their portable games console, the Sony PSP.
The idea is that the RC car would carry a video camera to provide a live feed to the PSP display. It’s not clear how the control of the car would take place but it is possible that it would make use of the built-in WiFi on the PSP and would therefore require a car (or at least a new receiver) that could make use of the WiFi signals.
Will it ever make it to market? Maybe not but I will be keeping my eyes open for it in case.
