DEFINITION

Classification: 180/167

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:

(under the class definition) 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.

(1) Note. The control of a vehicle by an operator located apart therefrom, and utilizing an electrical conductor, one end of which travels with the vehicle, to transmit signals thereto, does not constitute subject matter for this and the indented subclasses.
