App “Remote S” Apple Watch Lets You Control a Tesla S from Wrist

Apple Watch integration with vehicles is the next big step for apple watch. A few months ago Tim Cook said in an interview that in the future will allow Apple Watch replacing the keys to your car and just open it with bringing the watch to the door. There is no doubt that the integration of the SmartWatch with the automotive world is an exciting bet, although perhaps we wait a few years to see the first practical applications, here’s one of the first.

This is Remote S, an application for Apple Watch that lets you control a Tesla S, the popular electric vehicle that enjoys great popularity in the United States and that is revolutionizing the world of electric cars. Yes, I know it would make sense to have a Tesla, but start somewhere, right?

In the video we leave a few lines below can appreciate the multiple functions that allows Remote S, although basically gives us control the most important parameters of our vehicle, while allowing us access to some of its most basic functions like open doors, turn on lights or sounding the horn. No, for the moment you can not drive the Tesla S from the wrist.

It’s developer Allen Wong Glance shows how the application provides an overview of the state of Tesla, while the main application features more advanced as controlling sunroof or car charging state functions. Of course, we can also open and close the doors from Apple Watch, change the limit load of the vehicle, changing the climate control, the car geotag on a map and even start the engine using the watch as a key.

Control the weather, start the engine, see the condition of the engine and battery, and more.

Once our Tesla S is in motion, we will also be able to access information such as the speed or location. For the lucky few who own a Tesla S, the application is now under review by the team at Apple and could reach the App Store in the coming days.

Recall that several rumors have indicated that Apple is working on its own electric vehicle, which could reach the market in 2020. Undoubtedly, in the event that the project gets to see the light, there is no doubt we that, Apple Watch will be one of the main ways of interacting with it.
