In May, Apple filed a patent that aims to allow synchronization between mobile devices and vehicles. This technology would be used to give sharper global positioning tracking and turn-by-turn navigation using Wi-Fi hotspots, cell towers, and sensor data. Location information may be shared between the vehicle and mobile devices to minimize the amount of time it takes for positions to be traced when signals are lost. This technology would allow synchronization of other aspects such as contacts between the mobile devices and vehicles.
