Apple car may well be Pear-shaped

Apple disrupted the Personal Communication sector by bringing the smartphone. Can’t think of a more powerful argument to have a smart device for Personal Mobility as well. To continue the comparison, ‘apps’ become functions that this Next-Gen EV can physically perform then. Question is: which form follows functions best? The one left does. As a matter of fact: try change its shape, and it starts losing functions. The sleeker and smaller the vehicle footprint, the more margin there is to react and to evade other road users. Round-off, sloping contours reduce/eliminate fragmented scanning and imaging; no blind spots, which is unavoidable with more boxy vehicles.

PS: Apple engineers are idiots, are unable to think outside the box. Btw, my concept has already received recognition from automotive engineers, and is IP registered. But I am not looking for automotive approval; Personal Mobility is a much larger subject than producing and selling cars.
