I give up with this damn company. Tim is too afraid to take risks.
The XPS 15, is actually very nice.![]()
Yeah that would have been an awful move. Buy a company that would want a ridiculous amount of money paid for it, despite the fact that they aren't profitable and seem to be headed towards losing even more money with the release of their next car.
They should just have bought Tesla if they wanted to make an Apple car.
Honestly the electric car competition is going to be quite complex in the next few years. While I like Testla, the competition from traditional car makers is going to start getting more serious, as makers move away from Diesel, and move into renewable options such as electric, fuel cell, and the likes. What we saw at the Paris auto show is likely just the tip of the iceberg.
I'm sick of waiting for this Apple Car to come out.
And who is going to do that? All the automakers are doing their own thing. They don't need Apple. Plus what evidence do we have Apple is skilled at making a top notch guidance system?I always thought Apple should have concentrated on the hardware to enable a self drive, rather than designing the whole vehicle themselves. Invent and sell a top notch guidance system and let other incorporate it into their vehicles.

Tesla is doing what Apple wanted to do, IMHO. Tesla's long term goal is to convince other car manufacturers that EV's are possible and desirable. Once that happens, they then sell/license their batteries and system platforms to anyone who wants to use it and their car lines can go bye-bye as they are no longer needed. Getting wrapped up in the messiness of factories and managing labor is not where any of these "visionary" type companies want to be. That's for the Foxconn/GM type companies of the world to deal with.Tesla is doing okay.

I think they abandoned Mac plans too.
Can't wait any longer to buy a car, so I bought a computer....make sense!I'm sick of waiting for this Apple Car to come out.
Instead, I went out and bought a DELL XPS. Couldn't be happier with my decision.
this is kind of purchase AppleThey should just have bought Tesla if they wanted to make an Apple car.
However, what's the likelihood that Ford, BMW, Mercedes, etc. would choose newcomer Apple as opposed to their own home grown systems? The only thing that would make sense is to buy Tesla (yea it will be at least a 50B purchase) and then open another division to produce cars in the style/manner Apple wants.Focus on the computer/software aspect, not the actual car part. Makes a million times more sense.
Wow, the amount of naiveness in your post is astonishing. It's like saying that technology that is designed to not fail can not possibly fail (Titanic, anyone).Remember how many times you were faced with this scenario in the last year? In your life? Remember all your family members and friends who faced this scenario? Remember all the celebrities?
This problem DOES NOT EXIST. If you're faced with the scenario where you can hit a pedestrian or a brick wall, the speed limit is 20 MPH. Hitting something or someone will injure them - maybe send them to a hospital. They almost certainly won't die. Unless you're speeding badly.
With an autonomous car, defects in the brakes would be immediately noticed. The car would demand that it be serviced before driving you anywhere.
Car manufacturing is a different kettle of fish to emojis and Apple just found that out.
