It was not enough the web browsing and many other functions, now the futuristic glasses of Google, called Google Glass, will allow you to control many features of the Tesla Model S, the electric sedan launched last year by the California group founded by Elon Musk.

At the base of novelty is the app called “Google Tesla” and made by Sahas Katta. Thanks to the software, in fact, Google Goggles allow the driver to have an eye (it’s appropriated to say …) the charge level of the battery, the digital maps which help to find the car in the event that no you have forgotten the exact location of the car park, as well as to know the temperature inside the car, and if it is considered necessary, turn on the air conditioner and set its parameters. The Google Glass then makes it possible to other functions to be executed at a distance, including the closing or opening doors and roof.

Curious was the idea that led to the development of the app Katta for Google Glass. The programmer is in fact dedicated to the party from which the same Model S Tesla has released for Android devices and has therefore made changes necessary to adapt it to technological glasses, using it as a “laboratory” a Tesla Model S made available by a relative.

We can speak of a first experiment that sees the Google Glass closer to the world of the automobile and, although at the moment it is not an official app, it is not excluded that in the future the same Google or some manufacturer might think to exploit the idea of bringing a new way of interacting between the owner and the car.
