American developer Sam Gabby taught voice assistant Siri on the Apple Watch to drive a Tesla Model S. the Purpose of this project is to test your abilities and show how a functionally “smart” watches are suitable for such problems.
To development he used the API from Tesla, so its solution can do everything the same as the official Tesla app. The owner of the electric vehicle can control the temperature in the cabin and summon the car using the autopilot and initiate the automatic Parking. In addition, it is possible to lock or unlock the doors, turn on lights, honk the horn. All of these actions can be performed with the help of Siri and Apple Watch. For these purposes, the developer has used the platform to manage “smart” home Apple HomeKit.
The author of the project posted on GitHub detailed instructions, as well as the 7-minute video on YouTube, so that everyone could do the same. To compile the application you will need Xcode and a developer account.
Note that in the 2018 Tesla Motors is committed to produce at least half a million electric vehicles of all models, and the mass production of them affordable, Tesla Model 3, will be deployed in the second half of next year. Under favorable circumstances, Tesla Motors is expected to release next year from 100 to 200 thousand electric cars Tesla Model 3.
On a quarterly reporting conference, the President of Tesla Motors said that the acquisition model of the application users have left more than 400,000 people. 93% paid pre-order the Tesla Model 3 is a new customers who previously did not own electric vehicle brand. Indirectly, this proves that the more affordable electric cars are able to attract the attention of wide circles of consumers, not just the “millionaires cranky” and fans of the brand.
