Guess it’s good for Apple to get into something other than computers, since their creativity since Jobs passed is underwhelming. Yes, they’re still making bucks, but their days of dazzling us with new hardware is gone, gone, gone.

The Apple car will deplatform you and remove you from the Apple app store if the car hears you praising President Trump.
This car will not be for conservatives.

If the electronics go wonky and the car nails a pedestrian, will apple be liable? Will you need insurance if you don’t drive it? Can I put a 10 year old brat n the vehicle and have it take him to the government miseducation facility, and return home?

If you have technical problems with that Apple car you’ll be requiered to take it to an Apple Affiliated Repair shop.There will be No more DYI repairs on your automobile since its actually the property of Apple.Just like your cell phone.

People in masks will wreck them anytime they see them. Hack them and make them take you to the airport. Or throw your drunk friend inside and have the car take him to the airport.

Hey, there are no laws anymore and it’s a victimless crime I guess.

Driverless delivery cars is one of the stupidest ideas ever. Well I guess the driver doesn’t die over a pizza.

Tesla discussed your expensive new car could drive itself around picking up paying customers to earn money. Yes my first thought was this will only last until a Passenger throws up in your back seat..... oh the stain and OH the smell!

No thanks. All conservatives will be cancelled. Especially believers. The spirit of the Antichrist is alive and well in the world...but I have a feeling it won’t be for long.

“The first Apple Car will not need a driver”
But, it will need a tow truck.

Safely? Not when the pedo in the car next to the Apple car figures out there is not an adult in the car.
