Like a heat mirage shimmering over the road ahead, Apple’s much-awaited contribution to the electric car market has been teasing us from the horizon since rumours of its development first emerged back in late 2014.
Despite having the potential to be the California-based firm’s biggest project yet, both figuratively and literally, precious little has been officially revealed about the plans for the Apple Car.
Nevertheless, signs of development are abound, from the firm’s apparent ongoing tests of self-driving software around Cupertino via a fleet of sensor-laden Lexus SUVs to the filing of an assortment of suggestive patents.
Based on these, experts have anticipated what the Apple Car could look like and the revolutionary features it might sport, from a customisable touchscreen dashboard to a Siri-like ‘intelligent automated assistant’.
Brought to life by artists with the UK car leasing firm Vanarama, the gorgeous mock-up has the sleek, minimalist lines that make Apple’s tech offerings so distinctive, down to the glowing Apple logo on the radiator grille.
Like a heat mirage…
