Bothers me that Apple invests it's time on this.
Honestly if Apple disappeared tomorrow someone else would manage to fill this car gap just fine. But if Apple disappeared tomorrow who would fill the gap their computer hardware and OS left?
Windows is getting slowly better but I don't think it will ever truly manage to be as slick as OS X. Especially when the passionate Windows insist on using an 8 year old OS and devs insist on writing software using the same systems and libraries they were using 15+ years ago.
To me Apple is only valuable as a computer company, an Apple car would just be a toy for the super rich.
I do wonder if this project came about as a way to keep talent in the building?
- askafriend 9y agoYeah I agree with you, Apple is only valuable as a computer company - they should have just stuck to computers. They should have never wandered off into making mp3 players and cell phones which are just toys for the rich. /s
- leggomylibro 9y ago"Just stick to computers" is exactly what they did; they just put a new interface on them to make the smartphone. A CPU is an application processor is a CPU. Apple's pioneering innovations have always been with regards to design, not really technology.

- askafriend 9y agoFocusing on Autonomous and straight up building and selling a car are completely different things. Everyone here is assuming the latter with no evidence to support it.
