Steve Jobs wanted to make an iCar

Steve Jobs wanted to make an iCar

If Steve Jobs was still alive, what more could he have done? Already we know that Apple has invaded into our lives in a personal and professional way, some more than others. And Apple has tried to be a mainstay in the living room. Remember Apple TV?

Well, it seems that Steve Job has also dreamed up plans to create, the iCar. This piece of tidbit comes from J. Crew CEO and Apple board member Mickey Drexler. He was speaking at one of Fast Company’s Innovation Uncensored convention.

He did not speak about what kind of power or transmission, or even the type of car the iCar will be. But he said that Steve Jobs was more concerned about the design of the vehicle. Steve Jobs died before committing a stroke on paper. Too bad.

        • ya.. they dabao because of the “reality distortion field”

          apple: with our revolutionary 1.0 engine, it can accelerate from 0 to top speed in 12 sec.. with the top speed of 100KM/h, you can cover 100KM in one hour! It’s amazing!!

    There won’t be any hood to open; you can only refuel the car. The rest can only be done at the Apple service center.

        Haha, Samsung is already a car manufacturer. They make everything. Ships (the biggest ones), buildings (the biggest ones… Burj Khalifa, Twin Towers, …), used to make aircrafts (still parts like the turbines are produced by Samsung), they make military aircrafts and armed vehicles like tanks etc.

    Rainbow wheels would standard on iCar. The car will start with a ‘bong’ sound. And people will queue for days before its launch date to be first to get hold of it. Oh, when ask what is the best car on the market, Siri will answer Samsung (they do make car in Korea, don’t they?)

    Fortunately this things is not realised. Otherwise the iSheep will claim that “this is the best car in the world!”. As usual what they always say about their i-products.

    • ya.. because they copied apple by putting their logo in front of the middle of the car… it’s their theme..
      besides, they also dont allow any car manufacture to sold their car if their window can wind down or door can be opened if their concept car realized..

  • I’m glad that won’t happen to be honest. I don’t want peoples buying his car for the badge and to look cool but actually they don’t know what they’re buying like some Apple users. Apple should stick to making electronic products and let the expert of motoring take care of the automotive industry.

    if there was an iCar, there would be a litmus paper like material which will turn pink and void the car’s warranty after it gets wet in the rain for the first time

    if there was an iCar, a small bump would render the only button on ure car completely useless

    if there was an iCar, we’d all have to buy a new iCar every 2 years because they’re engineered to die in that time frame, while Apple fanatics would gladly change everytime a new iCar comes out

    With so many iproduct fans around, this car’s gonna be flooding the streets if it ever make it into the market.

    Available in only black, with white color following a few months later. Oh, not to forget a new model coming out every year.

    Best feature would be a single button on the dashboard, which will stop working in less than a year under heavy usage
