Sinesikhathi esingakanani sikhuluma ngemoto okuthiwa i-Apple? Kube enye yezinto okuthiwa ukwehluleka kwenkampani, yize ingakaze ibe khona i-Apple Car, asazi nakancane ukuthi i-Apple ibisebenza emotweni ezimele, kepha sesiyazi ukuthi i-Apple igxekwa nangalokho Akenzanga. Yiba noma kanjani, okuqinisekisiwe ngemuva kokuvuza kweminye imibhalo yangaphakathi ukuthi inkampani isebenza kungxenyekazi yesoftware yezimoto ezizimele, okuhlangene nokugunyazwa okucelwe kuziphathimandla zaseCalifornia ukuthi zikwazi ukuhlola izimoto ezizimele kuhulumeni kushiya ukungabaza okuncane ngalolu daba.
Ngeke sazi ukuthi i-Apple yake yacabanga ngempela ngokwethula imoto ezishayelayo, kepha inentshisekelo enkulu ngesoftware. ICarPlay, eyethulwe eminyakeni embalwa eyedlule futhi manje ekhona ezinhlobonhlobo eziningi ezethulwe yimikhiqizo emikhulu yezimoto emhlabeni jikelele, bekungaba yindlela yokuqala emhlabeni we-automation. Isoftware okumele ihlolwe ngabasebenzi bakho, manje abazobe bethola ukuqeqeshwa okudingekayo besebenzisa isiteringi seLogitech namanye ama-pedals ukuphasa izivivinyo ezidingekayo ezibavumela ukuthi basebenzise izimoto ezizimele emigwaqweni yomphakathi. Lezi zimoto kuzoba yiLexus RX450h kusuka ngo-2015.
Kungenzeka ukuthi lezi bekuyizinhlelo zangempela zenkampani kusukela ekuqaleni, noma ukuthi bathathe isinqumo sokushiya umqondo wokwakha imoto yabo basebenzise isisho esidumile esithi "umenzi wezicathulo ezicathulweni zakho." Yize ihlala izishaya isifuba ngokuthola ibhalansi ephezulu nokusebenza kahle kwesihlanganisi "isoftware + ihadiwe", umsebenzi osondelene nemikhiqizo eyinhloko yezimoto (noma mhlawumbe nje uhlobo lomkhiqizo) lungasebenza ngokuphelele ukuthuthukisa isoftware evumela i-Apple ukuthi incintisane kwenye yezimakethe ezisezingeni eliphezulu namuhla: imoto ezimele.
Kuhle!
