Class Information
Number: 180/167
Name: Motor vehicles > With means for controlling operation responsive to electromagnetic radiation, magnetic force, or sound waves received from source, or reflected from object or surface, located apart from vehicle
Description: Vehicle provided with means for regulating its operation (e.g., starting, steering, stopping), which means responds to electromagnetic radiation (e.g., radio rays, light rays, gamma rays) or magnetic force or sound waves, and wherein the radiation, force, or waves are either sent to the vehicle from a location remote therefrom or else are reflected to the vehicle (e.g., an on-board source creates the radiation, force, or waves) from an object or surface at such a location.
