I wonder if Apple is going to try to extend their closed eco-system concept to their electric car. That would be interesting to watch.

- jotm 11y agoGood God, and they'll be asking money for it :-D
- venomsnake 11y agoYep. Using only apple electricity, driving only on apple roads unless you root your car. And when a part costing 0.02$ burns you will have to buy a new one.
- iaw 11y agoI mean more along the lines of closed tech approach (compared to the automotive industry as a whole which has historically been open tech). I don't think the sarcasm is warranted. Given the recent Chrysler hacks it's quite possible that the closed ecosystem approach is what the market wants.
- venomsnake 11y agoEven better idea - airgap the real electronics and the smart idiocies from each other.
- iaw 11y agoThat's the approach that I imagine a tech company with a closed philosophy will take (e.g. Apple). I strongly suspect Tesla hasn't taken this approach, making me worried that a widespread brand-damaging hack is inevitable.
