These days I told you that Apple is extremely serious about developing a car, one of Steve Jobs' dreams being to bring such a product to the market, he being a fan of Mercedes-Benzof the So that everything is in tune with his preferences Steve Jobs, the Apple company recently hired the former head of the research and development team at Mercedes-Benz USA, Johann Jungwirth. Within Apple, Johann Jungwirth has the role of director of the team that develops the OS X operating system for Macs, and he would work in a new secret Apple laboratory.
The Apple research lab was set up late last year, not long after Apple unveiled its forthcoming smart watch and latest iPhones, which suggests that any resulting product may still be years away from release. Apple often investigates a wide range of new product areas, some of which never get released.
Separated from the former head of the R&D team at Mercedes-Benz USA, the Apple company hired sand other experts in the development of automobiles, working together with employees who until recently developed iPhones from Cupertino. Johann Jungwirth was hired by Apple in September of last year after spending 5 years in the research and development team of Mercedes-Benz, he being an important "piece" for Apple's future plans. At the moment, the Apple company has only one product dedicated to cars, it being called CarPlay and allowing iPhone owners to control the entertainment system of cars that have integrated CarPlay.
Now having the employment of these automotive experts, we could speculate that Apple could be really interested in developing a car and not just perfecting the CarPlay system. Hiring such an important person from Mercedes-Benz USA is a sign that Apple is serious about at least developing products that integrate into cars, if not a car in general.
