元器件交易网讯 2月21日消息,据台湾媒体Digitimes报道,本周末传出消息,苹果的兼容与收购总裁Adrian Perica正在和电动汽车制造商特斯拉商谈事宜。今天,特斯拉首席执行官Elon Musk证实了谈判,不过表示苹果收购该公司是不可能的。
作为商业内参的尼古拉斯·卡尔森指出,像Perica这样企业高管经常与其它公司高管理开会,讨论双方是否能建立合作关系或投资机会。
苹果与特斯拉有一个潜在机会进行合作,那就是汽车中采用苹果车载系统。
去年苹果全球开发者大会上,车载系统是内置到苹果的移动操作系统中具有的一个新功能,可以让iPhone用户通过他们汽车的内置软件和硬件上运行iOS。
虽然许多汽车具有通过控制方向盘就能播放音乐的特性,但车载系统整合得更多,它的iOS 7拥有不同外观并且提供了便利的Siri视频服务。(元器件交易网 白玉涛译)
以下为外文:
Word got out this weekend that Adrian Perica, Apple"s head of mergers and acquisitions, has been meeting with electric automaker Tesla.
Today, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed the talks, but said that Apple buying the company is "unlikely."
As Business Insider"s Nicholas Carlson pointed out, corporate development execs like Perica often meet with senior executives at other companies to discuss opportunities for partnership or joint investment.
Among the potential opportunities for cooperation between Apple and Tesla, there"s one product that immediately stands out as a possibility: iOS in the Car.
Announced at Apple"s Worldwide Developer Conference last year, iOS in the Car is a new feature built into Apple"s mobile operating system that lets iPhone users run iOS on top of their car"s built-in software and hardware.
While many cars let you play music from your phone using controls on the steering wheel, iOS in the Car takes the integration much further, bringing the distinct look of iOS 7 and the convenience of Siri to vehicles from over a dozen manufacturers.
