Apple has been granted a patent for a wireless remote control clickwheel that attaches to your car's steering wheel, reports Patently Apple.

At a time when local and federal laws are being drafted to enforce "hands free" operation of smartphones and other devices in vehicles, Apple's invention comes to the rescue to provide their customers with a sound solution.

Interesting enough is that one of the engineers working on this project was a principal designer at California's famous Frog Design.
