Heh, no. Apple has absolutely no interest in becoming a tier 3 OEM supplier in the car industry and don't make those sort of chips to begin with. They are happy to cement their ecosystem by helping car makers integrate it into the infotainment screens but that is a far cry from what Tesla is doing.

- specialist 4y agoNevermind. Intel & NVIDIA are considered Tier 2. QNX-Blackberry sells to both OEMs and Tier 1. Rebutting my speculation by suggesting Apple would be a lowly Tier 3. While they're already Tier 1 and seriously considering being an OEM. You're funny.
