Owners of Tesla's high-tech electric cars will be able to control various aspects of their vehicles remotely using the Apple Watch and companion app. The app allows navigation and control via multiple screens to monitor the Tesla's battery life and remaining range, track the car's location, lock and unlock the doors, sound the horn, operate the lights, open and close the sunroof and adjust passenger and driver temperatures. While still in beta, the app should be ready to give Tesla owners Bond-like control of their cars by the time Apple Watch ships in April.

Apple looks to be taking extra precautions for its first wearable, if reports are to be believed. The Cupertino-based company will reportedly keep the 18-karat gold Apple Watch Edition in specially-installed safes. These will be installed with Apple Watch MagSafe chargers for additional safety.
