The remote control SUV is part of Land Rover's basket of technologies the company is developing for future autonomous vehicles. To use it, the driver (and key) must be within 32 feet (10m) of the vehicle, and there's a maximum speed of 4mph (6.4km/h). Land Rover suggests the tech could be useful for getting one's Range Rover out of a tight parking spot or when rock crawling, freeing the driver to act as their own spotter. The company also revealed a system that enables a Range Rover Sport to make 180 degree turns, which seems a relatively natural evolution of the auto parking feature (Park Assist in Land Rover-speak) that more and more car makers are offering now.
