I haven’t seen one Apple person that was excited about this contrary to the article.

And, if Apple were to get into the auto business, which aspect of the business? Making the computer software?

Why would they assume that Apple would want to retail automobiles.

Seems like a real stretch.

Did you also read the article posted a few days ago on this topic? Lots of back and forth over what was Apple up to.

I think Apple sees the driverless car as the wave of the future and they want to get in on the ground floor. With their electronic, computer and GPS expertise and foundation they probably believe they are particularly situated to take advantage of this.

I’m going to wait and see what Apple is actually doing, before I decide one way or another, whether I’m interested or happy or not. At this point, I just don’t know what Apple is doing. AND ... that’s the way Apple is ... in that they don’t preannounce that they are creating some new product.

ALSO ... remember ... Apple says there are a 1,000 NOs for every YES. This could end up being a “NO” after going through the research.

We’ll simply have to wait and see.

My friends who are total koolaid-drinkers (I’m merely a user and fan of Apple products) have literally never mentioned this, and it has come up a number of times over the years.
