The late Apple co-founder and consummate visionary, Steve Jobs, who helped to bring to life iconic gadgets like iPhones, iPods, and Mac computer didn’t want to stop there – he also dreamed of grabbing a slice of the car industry. An Apple board member, J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler, revealed that he talked to Jobs about his desire to add a car to the company’s line-up at a recent interview during the Fast Company Innovation
Uncensored expo held in New York. And while Jobs never actually got around to designing his vision of an Apple automobile, Drexler predicted that if he had, it would’ve dominated the industry much like his other hand-held products. But this wasn’t the first time that Jobs fanastized about what the Apple brand could be outside of the consumer electronics market; he re-imagined yachts, staircases, and even medical equipment, according to Drexler. Jobs even used his time undergoing medical treatment to design all sorts of things for Apple to build from his hospital room.
Since Jobs never penned his idea for a car, designers are left to envision what an Apple-branded car would be like, including 22-year old student Liviu Tudoran, whose three-seater iMove plug-in electric concept car packs in loads of Apple-inspired gadgets. A “photocromic” exterior allows the driver to change its color, a touch-screen display covering the entire dashboard charged by a solar front windshield, and a convertible roof that leaves the car shaped like a Mac mouse. While its no iCar, its still amazing to think about what could have been — or what is still to come
How would look like a car invented and designed by Apple? Italy based auto designer Liviu Tudoran has taken inspiration from the Apple Macintosh products and designed a concept car called iMove for the year 2020. This car will be electric, of course, and will feature the same general design lines like all the latest Macintosh products. Most of the car body is covered with transparent materials, so that even under the roof the driver get a cabriolet feeling. This transparent material is also a solar panel. iMove will be able to seat three passengers and will feature an innovative luggage storage space. The concept will also offer various possibilities for customization, so the owners will be able to change the car’s appliance according to its own preferences.
