If you were skeptical about #SelfDrivingCars before, maybe one with a #cockpit would tempt you well enough... - http://clapway.com/2015/08/16/is-apple-building-a-cockpit-for-project-titan-245/

Apple has been in the news a lot lately, but the latest rumors say the company is likely working on a heads-up display (HUD) similar to what you’d find in the cockpit of a jet.

Apple’s Rumored Heads-Up Display

This latest batch of rumors comes from Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry. According to Chowdhry, Apple is working on a heads-up display that will cover between 27 to 50 inches of screen real estate, which will undoubtedly span across a vehicle’s entire windshield.

This HUD will give drivers pertinent information while they are driving through the use of “vivid” icons. Chowdhry also indicated that the system will be gesture controlled. This will allow users to maintain their attention on the road since their eyes will never leave the windshield.

Reusing Technology

Apple hasn’t commented on the rumors, which isn’t surprising. According to Chowdhry, the HUD still has quite some time before it will see mass-production. Although rumors of Apple’s self-driving cars means that the company can’t be too far off either.

The technology being developed in this project can also be used for several other projects as well. The curved-screen technology is equipped with sensors and could be used in TVs or a number of other devices the company could be working on. Chowdhry says that this is the “early stage of something that could be a lot bigger.”

Credibility

Rumors are rumors though, and so far Chowdhry is the only analyst reporting that Apple is working on a HUD, so all of this should be taken with a grain of salt.

Apple executive Jeff Williams has called cars the “ultimate mobile device,” so the idea that they are developing a HUD isn’t entirely farfetched. Many auto manufacturers are working on self-driving cars along with bigger and better technology to put inside them.

Project Titan is what Apple is calling its own self-driving car project that is currently being tested at an old navy base. Apple’s new HUD could very well be an important part of Project Titan and could help give it an edge over companies like Google, Tesla, BMW, Honda, and other automotive manufacturers who are also working on self-driving cars.

Is Apple Building a Cockpit for Project Titan?

Apple Delays Start of Streaming Service - http://clapway.com/2015/08/14/apple-delays-start-of-streaming-service123/

According to recent releases and Apple information, a revamped version of the Apple TV was supposed to make its appearance next month, but now the company’s long time reported streaming service is now on hold.

Apple’s Negotiating With TV Networks Is Progressing Slowly

Apple was supposed to reveal the next version of the Apple TV set-top box at an event that was scheduled for September 9th, which is where they are also supposed to reveal the next installment of the iPhone family. However, Apple has now postponed the announcement of the live TV streaming service due to still negotiating licensing deals with TV networks such as those owned by CBS Corps and 21st Century Fox, Inc. These deals are reportedly “progressing slowly”.

In a report, people familiar with Apple’s plans are cited saying that Apple is continuously trying to secure programming for the service. Apparently the technology giant is lacking the proper computer network capacity that will ensure a good viewing experience for all customers. This new Apple TV apparently won’t be revealed until 2016.

Apple TV Is Supposed To Showcase New Features

Rumors surrounding this new and improved Apple TV have been circulating for months. According to reports from earlier this year, claims of the Apple TV included that it would possess a faster processor, support for digital voice assistant Siri, and an overhauled operating system. This was reportedly supposed to be revealed at June’s Worldwide Developers Conference before it was pushed back to the fall.

This Comes As Other Networks Prepare For Users To Cut Their Packages

The entrance of Apple into the streaming television realm arrives as many network and cable programmers prepare for the rise of users cutting the cords on their services. This new Apple TV has been called Apples chance to disrupt the cable television industry. Companies including Dish TV with Sling and Sony with PlayStation are introducing smaller bundle packages that boast live and local TV channels as well as other popular cable channels for a lower cost. Other networks have also launched their own standalone offers such as Showtime and HBO.
