The automotive sector is moving a lot slower than we first thought. Despite the technological advances, almost everyone has focused on adding independence to everyday cars. Few focus on re-imagining the inner space. One of them was Cruise in her Original car, when the Verge media had a special access a few weeks ago.
The origin is just what we can expect from a future Apple Car. Because it puts values like design and experience on the table.
The opportunity to start early
Cruise origins look different from everything we've seen. On the outside we can assume it is a car made of two rear minivan halves. There is no way to say nothing where purpose the car. They are perfectly sized and have doors on both sides.
This is because Cruise wanted to start the car from scratch. The autonomous technology they have developed has consented remove multiple parts So it is very important for the car. Starting with steering wheel, gear lever and pedals, nowhere to be found.
Its elimination not only frees up the space inside, but also allows to redesign the entire space. Almost all cars have been seen since the early 20th century have one, two or three rows of seats forward tilted. On the trunk we find two rows of chairs facing each other.
By removing the hood and trunk, the car retains its outer size but conquering the deepest. And it highlights one of the basic changes: equality among all riders.
A car where space is paid for all passengers
So far, all cars have prioritized comfort and driver control. It has the best seat, appearance, comfort and controls on your hands, while other travelers do the second stage. All the attention of the manufacturer is taken by the driver, of course, because you will be responsible for each trip.
Originally, Cruise puts all travelers on equal terms. In front of tyranny of the driver, the occupants of this car enjoy the same privileges and comforts: a comfortable or slim chair, a place to stretch their legs, easy access to and from the car, visibility, etc.
Viewed in its current form, the Cruise can even leave the door on one side and extend the seats. Residences with "U" or "C" sites that allows more travelers to stay, as in the case of limousines. The experience is completely different from that of a traditional car
Traveler-friendly transportation service
Each time we move, we are faced with a decision: should I spend 30 dollars or 30 minutes of my time?
This is what the company asked in an exciting story at Medium. Although autonomous driving is not limited to Cruise (there are many companies other than Tesla or Waymo), the way it makes a profit yes it is. The combination of this seamless technology and the car's interior distribution allows for a unique sense of mobility.
Cruise is looking to create Origins ships to provide urban transportation services. One there you do not have to waste time driving on a car journey. Just like in a public car, you can use it to do other things. And with the space available inside, you will never go stronger. Reading a book, talking, talking on the phone and working are all great opportunities.
The chaos with steering wheels, gears and gears thanks to autonomy that opens up a whole spectrum of opportunities within cars
Without space, we would be lucky to own the car take me where I need to and take me where I want. Along the way, you can pick up and dispose of other passengers with great force, on the massive development of slow public transit.
Most car trips are done by themselves. The car spends 95% of the time fixed and unused. The future of autonomous vehicles is a service where the traveler is not the owner but the user.
Apple Car: design and experience
Years have passed since we learned about Project Titan, Apple's intention to launch its own autonomous vehicle. Over time, technological advances and the success of companies like Tesla, the picture has changed. Compertino's company has decided to drop its initial plans to build an independent electric car and focus on developing the technology itself.
We saw the most recent evidence of that progress in late January, when they "caught" the Apple Lexus with an impressive mountaintop. In a way reminiscent of the iPhone 4, the interior had all the necessary autonomous driving sensors. And while the company is testing its equipment, we continue to see a steady decline in car-related patents and autonomy.
Apple is a construction company that creates tools to create and deliver technology to people. Why an autonomous car from Apple will approach Carlise's request it is 100% Tesla automatic. Fun fact, Cruise is owned by a number of companies, including Softbank with its Vision Fund. Apple has invested $ 1 billion in that fund over the past three years. Over the past few months, Apple has also invested an undisclosed amount in the same fund.
We do not know how much the progress of Project Titan or its plans is. Yes, we know from Tim Cook that Apple is working on it. Putting all the pieces together, it's clear that Apple's car will be better an automotive service They will offer a unique travel experience. Only then can a gap in the busy and emerging market.
