Don't be surprised to see this headline, I think it is very possible for a South Korean company with a "deep pockets" like Samsung. Just about the technology companies involved in car manufacturing, we heard more of Apple and Google, one aimed at the interconnection of the car, a fan of automatic driving. As everyone knows, in our mouth hanging of these technology giants, the most "qualified" to build cars, is actually Samsung.

Samsung has filed a series of patent applications for electric vehicles with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the Korean Intellectual Property Agency, the Wall Street Journal reported. Samsung's move at a time when electric cars are a hot spot in the industry makes one wonder: is the Korean consumer electronics company going to start making electric cars?

If you think Samsung is playing across the border, that's wrong. The car has long been an industry owned by the Samsung consortium, albeit with a smaller share and a major supply of South Korea's local market, a brand that is less focused on international markets. This is the chairman Lee Kun-hee, founded in 1994, Samsung Motors, referred to as SMI, relies on Nissan and Renault two companies, mainly to sell OEM models mainly.
