"Here are some wacky ideas for companies that Apple could buy ... General Motors ($3B), in case Jobs wants to reinvent the car."
Kind of fun to think about what an Apple-made car would be like.
- henning 18y agoI think it would be very uncharacteristic for Apple to venture outside of consumer electronics and computing.
- kwamenum86 18y agoI think the iPhone would have been uncharacteristic several years ago. I am definitely not making the case that a car is realistic but you never know.
- davi 18y agoI agree, I don't think it's likely, or practical. However, the ZipCar, the New Beetle, the Mini Cooper, the Honda Element -- these are all increasingly appliance-like vehicles. I think Apple's take on a consumer appliance car would be interesting, especially if they could get their web services in order. Just fun to think about, for me.
- neovive 18y agoGM has way too many brands and selection for Apple. Apple could just design and build their own "Apple iCar" -- the only car with one button and a touch screen to control everything. They can sell it outside of select Apple retail stores.
