Knucklehead Of The Week: New Automobile By Apple Unveiled, But It’s Missing One Small Detail
The Blue State Conservative ^ | 5/21/2022 | PF Whalen

Posted on 05/21/2022 10:01:35 AM PDT by simpson96

To clarify, and to remove any doubt as to whom exactly is being recognized, we are naming Apple Inc. as the week’s top knucklehead. Should we therefore pluralize the honor by calling them “knuckleheads of the week?” Or should we simply consider Apple Inc. to be a singular entity and therefore just one big “knucklehead?” We’ll leave that detail for others to decide.

As one might expect with a product from Apple, their new “concept” vehicle is full of bells and whistles, many of which Apple has understandably submitted for patent protection. It’s an electric vehicle, naturally, and one of the more groundbreaking aspects of the car is it autonomous driving functionality. Self-driving vehicles have already been in production for several years, but we can only imagine the new dimensions to which Apple has taken those ideas.

Additionally, according to VR Scout, Apple is counting on its virtual-reality centric entertainment system to be a major selling point:

Therefore, we’re left to ask the following: Exactly why does Apple and the two companies they’ve worked with to produce this vehicle – Concept Creator and Letsgodigital – think it’s a good idea to try and market a vehicle that’s sure to cost six-figures yet requires passengers to sit in what amounts to a claustrophobic, panic-inducing coffin? Comfortable seats and cool entertainment options aside, do they really think folks are going to want to seal themselves into a windowless vault for their daily commute?

Except for the wheels, it looks like my Wireless Logitech MK710 Mouse. Not something I’d ever get into. Not even at gunpoint!

What the hell? What is it, a clam shell car? It opens from the front to the back? Do you need a giant clam knife to get to the seat? LOL!

All dark, and no headlights? Apple should stick to what it does best-phones and computers.

Wink, wink. Get it right man, it's the Helen Keller method of driving.

Just in case someone reading this doesn't know who was Helen Keller.

Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, disability rights advocate for the blind, political {leftist extreme} activist and lecturer.

How’s this supposed to work for things like drive-up restaurant (or Starbucks) windows and ATMs?

Please, I don’t even want to think about a Windows Car.

The Blue Screen of Death becomes literal not just figurative.

The iCar is an apt metaphor for what totalitarian globalist depopulation psychopaths like Tim Cook want to do to representative government.

Windows should be adjustable to taste at any time, both in color and transparency.

It's not Windows ... MacOS only.

Control, Alt, you’re deleted ... of course that is ultimately true of all driverless technologies.

Now tim cook needs to sit in one on a cross-country ride to demonstrate its reliability. Start the trip in LA traffic.

One little EMP burst and it’s a pile of un-recyclable plastic junk.

To be fair, every other current production car would be too.

Maybe even things with recent 6-71 Detroits in them.
