Tesla confirms that it is developing technology in the purest style of the ‘fantastic car’

Who has not ever seen the Fantastic Car series, Knight Rider in English. There were two clear protagonists, the car and its driver, nothing more and nothing less than himself. David Hasselhoff. Set in the 1980s, it was the first series to explore the concept of high technology associated with driving. The car, named KITT, an acronym for Knight Industries Two Thousand, He could drive alone, talk to his driver and be controlled through the watch. Today, technology allows us to fulfill two of those three dreams and Tesla has just confessed that it is developing the last of them; a mobile application to manage all the functions of the car.

Without a doubt it has been one of the biggest complaints from its customers over the years, since the appearance of smart watches, smartwatches. Over the years, wristwatches have gained qualities and functions. They have gone from being simple activity bracelets, which collect data such as steps or heart rate, to being true control devices for our lives. Through them we can receive and send messages, talk and much more.. Tesla’s idea is to apply all the functions of its mobile application on the watch.

The car within reach of the wristwatch

Tesla has postponed the development of this function for some time, but it does not seem as simple as it seems at first glance. Tesla’s smartphone app is one of the best, if not the best, in the industry. Through it we can manage charging, air conditioning, program a route and even ask the car to come to us, among many other functions. It is an extension of the vehicle itself in our hand. As they point out X sourcesthe old Twitter, American engineers are advancing the development of the application for smart watchesmainly for Apple devices, the Apple Watch.

According to sources, the integration will also be available on other devices operated by other operating systems such as Garmin or Android. The code doesn’t seem to point in just one direction, which is good news for all users. Now the big question that remains to be resolved is what the application will look like once it has been miniaturized for a wrist watch.. What features will it include? When will it be available? At the moment there are no great answers to such unknowns. What seems complicated is being able to view the car through its cameras.

This is undoubtedly one of the great functions of the application, but projecting the images on the watch in real time seems like a complex problem to solve. Some users assure that it will be possible to locate the vehicle and see its general condition. Some recreations They even dream of the visualization of the autonomous driving system. For the moment Tesla remains silent. Nobody within the company has wanted to give clear details regarding the control application for smart watches. What is certain is that if it reaches the market, millions of users around the world will celebrate it with great joy.
