This. Is Apple going to start making a world class ICE from scratch? No. Could they eventually? Yes of course. But why would they want to? A car without an ICE is a reduced complexity space to engineer a vehicle in. I'll bet they can figure out how to iterate from an electric mule to a safe vehicle just fucking fine. People unfamiliar with the auto industry may also be surprised to learn just how many parts on a Model S tesla doesn't make. But an ICE? Fuck I wouldn't want to start that war with zero patents.
