remote-controlled
Guided from afar
Remote-controlled describes something operated from a distance, typically through wireless signals: a remote-controlled car, remote-controlled drone, remote-controlled garage door.
The term can apply to anything from toys to industrial machinery.
Figuratively, someone remote-controlled acts without autonomy, as if directed by an unseen hand: He seemed remote-controlled by his handlers.
