Steve Jobs’s death reminds us of two projects to create an Apple car. Secret meetings were held with Volkswagen to create unique and a young designer created the iMove. Besides computers, Steve Jobs drew people to their products with inventions like the iPod, the iPhone or the iPhone. Its vision made his creations became the industry’s stand. It only occurred to him that the user is related to the machine through which a mouse around the screen and give orders to the various programs.

Thought differently … A pancreatic cancer will see an Apple car. It is not a panacea. According to the German magazine Capital, in 2008 Apple had a meeting with Volkswagen. At that meeting came an issue, according to this source, the ability to produce the iCar, it is an Apple car which is a micro-urban car based on Volkswagen models with all the accessories from Apple.

In this regard, Frank Weith, technical strategy manager for Volkswagen America, said in 2007: “Our customers expect to see some interesting things about this in the near future long-term. We see the car in a way where you can create a mood. The vehicle could download music from iTunes, or have a browser from which you schedule your trip from our website. The car asks, “Where you going?” And ready. Or download a movie. But now it must be done in a static way, download a week of your Internet connection, “said:

This was more than four years. Today, over 90% of new cars sold in the United States have the option to connect iPod … In this subsequent meeting held with Volkswagen Apple, never heard ¨.

It was not the only Apple rumor of a car. In 2010, the young designer Liviu Tudor twenty years, also a vehicle diseñío ideas followed Apple’s iMovie. This prototype, whose photos you see in the gallery of this article) was an urban seater. The body design imitated brand mice and had innovative and practical ideas really like the trunk.

It was made of an elastic and resilient and consistently comply could be molded to the shape of what is complimentary (goodbye to packages moving from side to side). Outside, the iMove was covered with a photochromic material would change color to consumer tastes, which cover for Ipod or Iphone. Taampoco lacking a touch screen, iPad type (such as the Volkswagen Bulli …!) What if there followed discussions between the German auto giant Apple in secret? Unfortunately, Steve will not see a car brand on the block through the streets.
