I agree, but I think we're at least 25 years away from that vision being realized. That leaves Apple a couple decades to sell a really good electric car which may have some "smart" safety features, but probably zero automation.
- sounds 10y agoIt appears the key success metric will be companies who: 1. Entered the emerging electric vehicle space with a "good enough" product that people will buy it. 2. Continuously innovate with new models. Since these are large pieces of machinery, this appears to be the money Tesla is leaving on the table by doing all their cars in-house. (maybe) 3. Autonomy. Nobody knows what this will come to mean, and lawmakers are being wary. Add to that Tesla's direct-to-consumer model stirring up the lawmakers, and autonomy may get killed by the lawyers (non-zero risk, not trying to predict the future with any certainty).
- bluthru 10y agoTesla will be offering automation for (presumably) less money in 2021. I don't think Apple can afford to not have automation, nor do I think they could offer something appealing enough to overcome not having automation. If Tesla can create automation in a short amount of time, I have no doubt that a massive computer company filled with smart software engineers and a maps group can do it.
