Apple’s “Automatic configuration of self-configurable environments” filing, originally applied for in 2012 and made public on August 1, details how with nothing more than a device such as an iPhone, all of this — and a lot more — could become a reality.

Basically, Apple wants your iPhone to control everything
Apple’s idea is to have each car built with the ability to read information from your iPhone or iPad. Other ideas include hotel controls, home controls, TV channels, and so on.
Essentially, your iPhone wouldn’t just be for making calls and playing silly games, it would also be for saving you five minutes of seat tweaks when you fire up the car after your significant other takes it out.
While Apple's invention would rely heavily on the cooperation of third-party manufacturers to build out the robust ecosystem required to facilitate such a system, the benefits to the user would be substantial.
