Apple has amassed billions of dollars with iPhones, MacBooks, Apple Watches, and their many other products. Now the company is determined to get a share of the growing electric car industry, with their next big thing — the Apple Car. Tesla is currently dominating the EV market and will only become increasingly popular, with nearly 500,000 cars delivered in 2020.
Apple in 2021 also sent a team of Apple Car employees to South Korea to meet with LG, the SK group, and others to discuss possible business opportunities related to the Apple Car. Now, Apple has filed a patent which revealed that Apple car owners can authorize other users to drive the car without releasing the keys. Indeed, there have been several Patents relating to the Apple car covering a wide array of concepts and components that have been filed.
“If access is controlled by a physical key or fob, the owner must physically deliver the key/fob to the individual and then must physically retrieve the key/fob after the individual is finished with access,” Apple said.
“If access is controlled by secret data, the owner must communicate the secret data to the individual. If the communication is insecure, a third party can observe the secret data. Additionally, the secret data must be changed after the individual is finished with access,” Apple added further.
Although we are still unaware about other details of the Apple Car and when the car will going to debut. Some sources claim that it can come in 2025 but it’s just the speculations. We have to wait till the official announcement from Apple.
