Android Wear can now control your Tesla Model S (Video)

Android Wear devices are being used to do quite a few awesome things, and now we can add being a remote control for the Tesla Model S to the list. It was about a year ago that we first saw this capability come to Google Glass via the GlassTesla app, and now it looks like the lucky few owners of the Tesla Model S can do the same kinds of remote control actions via their wrist.

The app, called Tesla Command for Android Wear, currently has just five main functions. First, you’ll be able to lock and unlock the car (and watch as the slick handles pop out and retract at the tap of a button).  You can also use the smartwatch app to make the car honk a few times, as well as open and close the car’s sunroof. Check out the video below for a demo of the app.

You can get Tesla Command for Android Wear on the Play Store for free.
