Apple could soon revolutionize how people spend time on the road.

The firm has filed a patent that describes how passengers in autonomous vehicles could pass the time with VR headsets.

The headsets would allow passengers to play games or create a "relaxing" environment while on their journey.

Apple also suggests future cars could lack windows, instead using interior screens alongside VR headsets to display virtual surroundings.

Virtual images could be synchronized with the movement of the car. This could also help combat motion sickness, Apple claimed.

Substituting windows for screens will also save money and improve safety.

Despite a statement from last year claiming Apple is not developing its own vehicles, it seems to be speeding ahead with its self-driving program.
