If the past is any indication Apple will most likely improve on what is already out there Mp3 player, Cell phone, buying music over internet, GUI, ... were all

  It's interesting to speculate about what a 'fast follower' model looks like with cars. Cars have been around a long time. You propose that Tesla has sort of v2.0'ed cars with their fast, attractive, semi-autonomous, electric thing. That could be. But a fast follower model doesn't admit for autonomous cars; nobody is doing anything like that yet. And we are all sort of imagining like the self driving Apple car "carved from a solid billet of aluminium" (cue Jony Ives), I think. Apple seems to have the market lead in UI/UX, Product Design, Supply Chain and some forms of Silicon. I guess that could all add up to a greenfield effort at just a car, but better. I think it's more likely that this is a turning point in Apple's strategy, and that they see the need to make some big bets, like Google. In any event, I'm super curious about what will come out in 2020, or whatever.
