Apple Patents 1st Car That rudimentary drawing above? That's Apple's first patent for a vehicle. The vehicle in question, here, is one that's articulated like those super long buses that bend in the middle. Of interest is the mention, in the patent, of possible issues with the steering of such a vehicle as it's centered in the articulation—ie, where the vehicle bends. And as such, it's vulnerable to, say, "effective fire in a war situation." Yes, that's Apple, concerned how one of its patents might fare in a war zone. We're thinking this wasn't discussed in the brainstorming sessions of the iPad.

How about this: Be careful about what apps you add to your device. And start from there.
