Course: Self-Driving Cars: From Fundamentals to Advanced Autonomy
Who demonstrated an early example of remote vehicle control in 1898 using a radio-controlled model boat?
❌ Incorrect. The correct answer is:
General Motors engineers
The correct answer is John Hays Hammond Jr., as the content specifies he demonstrated a radio-controlled model boat in 1898, hinting at remote control concepts foundational to autonomous vehicles. H.G. Wells is incorrect because he was a science fiction writer envisioning self-driving cars in the 1920s, not involved in 1898 demonstrations. General Motors engineers are wrong as they were active in the 1930s-1950s with exhibits like Futurama and electromagnetic systems. University of California, Berkeley researchers developed Kailas in 1960, not in 1898.
