Samsung's moved successfully from TVs to phones, and somewhat less successfully to watches, so why not a car? A Wall Street Journal report says the Korean consumer electronics giant filed patents for parts that include a new electric motor and tires designed for an electric vehicle (EV). The patents were filed with the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office and Korea Intellectual Property Rights Information Service.
The same report also mentions patents for a vehicle that would control the car based on your current medical condition, or based on your medical history.
Patent filings are always a bit vague. They usually cover individual components and parts, so it's difficult to see how the technology would come together. However, there is also a filing for creating car communications between drivers of this potential Samsung EV.
