As British science-fiction writer and futurist Arthur C Clarke once noted: “Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. The idea being that if a device is intuitive enough, seamless enough and simple enough to use, then it can feel simply joyful and empowering in your hand. Like magic…
That’s particularly true for the brand-new pace-setting HONOR Magic6 Pro, which boasts some pretty innovative technology under its skin. So, how best to demonstrate it? Well, that’s where Dr. James Brighton comes in.
Alongside James’ far-reaching day job as an automotive engineer, he’s created a series of full-size remote control vehicles with astonishing capabilities – whether it’s a remote-control Nissan GT-R that can lap Silverstone at up to 130mph from the vantage point of a helicopter, or a remote-control Hummer that can tackle tough off-road courses.
HONOR set James a new challenge: could he and his team use the cutting-edge technology on the new HONOR Magic6 Pro to remotely control a car? We went behind-the-scenes to find out how it all works, and to explore how it could open up new ways in which we might interact with all our devices in the future.

Meet the HONOR Magic6 Pro
The location for our trip is a large imposing concrete hangar on the perimeter of an old Cold War airbase. You can’t get much more top secret than this. Inside, we find a camo-wrapped car and a small team of engineers putting the finishing touches to its remote-control tech.
Leading the team is James. In his hand is the HONOR Magic6 Pro: the latest addition to HONOR’s flagship smartphone line-up, featuring technology that can better understand and anticipate your behaviour – and your intent – to create a more seamless and smarter user experience.
It’s not just limited to making everyday tasks, such as interacting with messages and commands, faster and more intuitive. It also works with the HONOR Magic6 Pro’s camera to better-capture images – especially fast-moving action – in ultra-clear ultra-high-definition with exceptional detail and clarity: something HONOR has nicknamed ‘Sportography’.
