But they leaked the project intentionally, do you think they'd have sent cars with multiple big sensors out on the street and expect no one to notice?

Real World Testing
The Apple "car" isn't actually a "car" at all. More likely there'll be a rash of UFO sightings in the neighborhood.
Real world testing will be over everyone's head. For reals.

Ok, I know Renault but did not know about how they brand it differently. Good info sir!

It would be so funny to see that in 2020 Apple releases it's electric car. But all it is a an RC car controlled via your iPhone and sends video via AirPlay to the tv.

they are building the Mother Ship as we speak......

Apple buys Tesla
There's something fishy going onthis is "CarGate". It would only make sense if Apple buys Tesla which is already established as the leading high-tech future car company. Tesla stock is tanking so it's getting cheaper and cheaper every day. Apple will buy them out when they're worth $10 billion.

Aftermarket installation
They're not building cars. My guess is Apple is researching aftermarket installation of Apple hardware.

I still say that Apple is NOT working on a full automobile. What they're really working on are new instrument panel interfaces and full autonomous driving functionality that fits into an existing model.
In my humble opinion, those two existing models are:
BMW 2 Series Active Tourer
Mercedes-Benz B Class hatchback
Why these two models? Because both BMW and Mercedes-Benz have research labs not far from Apple's corporate campus, and both companies would be a natural to work with Apple on next-generation automotive technology.

Not that it makes any sense for Apple to buy Tesla, but even if it did, the value of the company's stock would not be the buyout price. If Tesla wanted to be acquired it would be at a huge premium over market cap. If they didn't want to be acquired, a hostile takeover would mean a lengthy and expensive proxy fight (an option I trust Apple would never consider).
If Apple were even thinking about Tesla, a joint venture makes far more sense than a merger for both companies.
From the article: "Apple's "Project Titan", its secretive and much-rumored electric car project, may involve a campus leased by Apple last year that is located in Sunnyvale, California
Why in the hell would they want to do anything there? Everyone knows that place is full of vampires!

If you're trying to make a business out of a no-pay website, I get it that requires ads - there are a lot, but I can live with that. Also, AI posts news very quickly.
What I have trouble with are that Apple Insider articles appear to me to be slavishly Apple promoting, or attacking any industry types who might suggest anything they see as anti-Apple. For that reason, to me their articles completely lack credibility. As for the comments sections of articles, expect to be attacked for anything that questions their articles or casts aspersions on Apple.
20-30% is not a "huge premium over market cap": http://moneymorning.com/2015/02/06/5-reasons-why-apple-buying-tesla-makes-sense-aapl-tsla/
lots of event type of stuff seems to be getting set up near the HQ - wonder if its to do with this?
Why would you need anything other than regular R&D facilities (which they already have)? Apple has rented out the test track that many companies use for their secret projects as well. What in the world are they planning on doing with CarPlay if their hiring automative manufacturing prototypers?
Apple should protect their data the car data before their secret offices
Supplieres gave me the car data to work on with out ant NDA signed at all I can do with thd data what ever i please apple take action
