While [remote-controlled cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zerone-2) are nothing new, [life-sized luxury ones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1950s-cadillac-fleetwood) are. An Jiaxuan and his partner developed the software necessary to controlling a [BMW](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-of-joy) with a Nokia C7 phone within a month. The duo's next big innovation will use the same technology on a real-life airplane. This re-imagining of James Bond spy cars is a real innovation in automotive technology. My guess is that An Jiaxuan has made it so that one day, you can control anything and everything with your phone. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 43% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Life-sized Luxury Cars:** This trend of creating life-sized luxury cars with remote-controlled capabilities opens up opportunities for innovative automotive technology. - **Mobile Phone Control:** The ability to control vehicles and other objects using a mobile phone has the potential to disrupt various industries and create new possibilities for remote operations. - **Integration of Software and Vehicles:** The development of software for controlling vehicles like a BMW with a phone paves the way for the integration of technology and automotive industries, enabling greater control and customization options. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive:** The automotive industry can explore opportunities in creating remote-controlled luxury cars and integrating software for enhanced control and customization. - **Mobile Technology:** The mobile technology industry can benefit from the advancement of mobile phone control, expanding its applications beyond traditional phone functionalities. - **Aerospace:** The aerospace industry can explore the potential of using mobile phone control technology in real-life airplanes, enabling remote operations and enhancing overall functionality. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Life-Sized Electric Toy Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-one-max.md) - [Camera-Equipped Remote Control Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snt-micro-fpv-car.md) - [Toy Car Aerodynamic Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-wind-tunnel.md) - [AI-Powered Toy Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rocar.md) - [Technical Education Car Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gocar.md) - [Unconventional Vehicle Control Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heart-of-joy.md) - [Meticulous Electric-Free Toy Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grip-car.md) - [Car Color-Changing Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/car-color-changing-technology.md) - [Miniature Designer Collectible Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-car-1.md)
