Agreed. Making a "dumb" electric car meant going against Tesla that is already making strides toward autonomy. Making a fully autonomous car meant solving new problems that could make-or-break the project. So yeah, Apple's smart to see if they can even make an autonomous system before trying to make their own car. Make sure all the problems are solvable before trying to solve them.
