Speculations run wild as to what Apple's next move will be. Many believe it involves the "grand vision" of the company on the television. Others think it's the iWatch. But for some, the tech giant might be involved in something that they have never touched before - cars.
A recent United States patent filing suggested that the mega-company have created a concept for a touchscreen to replace everything you see on a car's dashboard. The GUI "graphic user interface" includes controls for everything including music, heating, and the windshield.
"FIG. 1C Illustrates one example of a conceptual vehicle basic dash board (1) and center stack (5) with tactile displays and/or touch screens made possible by this invention, incorporated in the steering wheel center, the center stack, the console, the passenger side of the dash board, and possible the instrument cluster itself, not here illustrated," read an excerpt from the patent filing.
There were no details released on the project so far. In the past, Apple revealed the "iOS in the Car" which gained interest from many but had little follow up.
