Apple has an aggressive legal strategy because they can afford to bend/break the law first and let things play out in court (this case was first filed in early 2020 before the pandemic) while their competitors generally cannot.

- consp 3y agoWhy on earth can you drive without a registration of the vehicle. This simply indicates the law is broken. Still scummy behaviour but fixing the law so you have to get a plate before driving would solve this (like it's in many places of the world).
- nradov 3y agoThis wasn't a registration issue. In CA, new car dealers immediately register cars upon sale. The issue is that license plates formerly weren't issued until sometime later, so it was legal to drive a new car for up to 6 months with no plates. That law was fixed as of 2019. Now dealers have to install temporary license plates. https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/news-and-media/dmv-reminds-motorists-of-new-2019-laws/ https://www.dmv.ca.gov/portal/news-and-media/dmv-reminds-mot... Steve Jobs was notorious for trading in his car every 6 months so that he could park in handicapped spaces without being ticketed. https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/steve-jobs-car-apple-ceo-license-plates/story?id=14834608 https://abcnews.go.com/Technology/steve-jobs-car-apple-ceo-l...
