Say what you will about him — Steve Jobs dreamt big. He didn’t just set out to change personal computers, or even stop at mobile devices. He clearly wanted Apple‘s influence to extend to all areas of daily life. Case in point: He once seriously considered designing a connected car, probably called the iCar.
What might an iCar be like? You could probably imagine a very modern interior, with a Ford Sync-like interface that would certainly sync wirelessly with your iPhone, iPad or iPod. Apps would adapt so you could interact with them via the dashboard, and Siri would definitely be present (voice control makes the most sense in the car).
What about the exterior? That’s anyone’s guess, but designers have been creating iCar designs for years. There was the bulbous iMove from Liviu Tudoran that resembled a vehicular iMac (see below) to the recent iCar design from Franco Grassi.
