ABSTRACT:
A vehicle remote control system includes at least one remote controlled vehicle and a remote control station for each of the at least one remotely controlled vehicles. Each control station allows a user to control the operation of one of the remote control vehicles. Each remote controlled vehicle includes a camera having a lens with a field of view in a direction toward a forward path of travel for that vehicle. In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle is a car and includes various sensors for monitoring the operation of various parameters of the vehicle, such as speed. Each car is equipped with an instrument panel located in the field of view of the lens as well as two side rear view mirrors, one attached to a left fender and the other to a right fender, which are also located in the field of view of the lens. In this manner, the user at a remote control station controlling the vehicle may see on a monitor objects located in front or to the sides of the vehicle, objects behind the vehicle, and may monitor the various parameters displayed on the instrument panel. In the preferred embodiment, the monitor is any commercially available television set. A communications system including two way radios as needed is provided for communications between users, including the race coordinator. A vehicle conditioning platform is used to cool or heat or selectively cool/heat vehicle(s) not being used immediately.
