O Apple Car can be heard on almost every corner in recent days. But not because it is Apple to the world after years of development tooneintroduced, but because on the contrary, it has definitively canceled its development. However, as more and more details about this project come to light, one would almost like to say that it is just as well. Sources The New York The Times, for example, came up with a completely crazy vision of how things should have been. Apple Car to drive. And you would really be looking in vain for a steering wheel. 

As development was underway Apple Car more than 10 years and for Apple was supposed to be extremely important, at least from the beginning, it will not surprise anyone that a design legend also participated in it Jony Ive, which in Applu was still active during the time of Steve Jobs. It was Ive who, together with his designers, was to design the first car concepts similar to, for example, the Fiat Multipla 600, but whose interior lacked a steering wheel. The reason? The car was to be fully autonomous, with the passenger having to ask for it if he wanted to change direction or change the settings in the car. Siri. 

Ive was supposed to present this vision to Tim in the fall. Cookat the project headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, for a rather humorous presentation. The presentation was supposed to involve the two men sitting in a pre-designed model of the car's interior, with a hired actor standing next to the car reading lines from a script. Siri, which should sound in the car when he sets off on his journey. Ive subsequently Cookdemonstrated the interaction with Siriwhen the actors á la Siri asked, for example, what restaurant the car had just passed. In short, a real weirdo. And it is with that in mind that it is perhaps a good thing that the project Applu failed to finish. Some things should be transferredchat more experienced.
