German car-maker Volkswagen has teamed up with tech giant Apple to create the sleek “iBeetle”, a car with “all the comforts and reliability of the VW fully integrated with a newly designed docking
station and special iPhone application integrated into the dashboard”.
Designed with the iPhone user in mind, the car comes with a special “beetle app” that brings a fantastic array of digital accessories to the iBeetle driver.
The app-enabled functions include Expert (extended dashboard functions on the iPhone), Trainer (driving-related information such as traffic data) and Postcard (communication of current location to friends).
Recently unveiled at the Shanghai Auto Show, the iBeetle is the closest thing we have to a Apple automobile right now—Apple fans, wouldn’t you love to give this a spin?
