The iPod already has a cult of followers, the iPhone is a big hit, what could be next from Apple? If speculations are anything to go by, it’s going to be a car (iCar?). Reports say Apple Inc and Volkswagen AG are in serious discussions on building a car.
A spokesman for VW has said that Apple Chief Executive Steve Jobs and Volkswagen’s chief Martin Winterkorn met in California a few days ago, and are likely to see each other again soon. The spokesman said that there were ’scores of ideas’ but a definite plan was missing.
If an iCar were to be launched, it could be a success with the young target groups. Given the hype the iPods and iPhones have created, it is natural to expect that such a venture (iCar) is going to create new waves in the auto industry.
Electronics in cars are getting more and more popular every passing day. Apple works with a number of auto manufacturers to offer integrated in-car hookups for iPods. It would be interesting to see how an iCar looks, and what its console materializes into.
