Drive a car with an iPhone?

Apparently a team from National Instruments integrated an iPhone into an old car and programmed it to drive the vehicle!

I can't see if it's controlled remotely by another phone, or if it's coordinates are just programmed into the iphone app. I'm guessing they're just programmed in. But I can't wait for the business model of remote controlled demolition derbies. It's gonna be like robot wars full scale. Maybe the army should look into an army of $300 remote controlled cars to mow down enemies in wars instead of multi-million dollar UAVs.
