Apple Car Autonomous Driving Scaled Down, Launch Planned for 2028

[Mac Fly (film)]

LOL I am the complete opposite.
I just want to get a self-driving car and be done with it.
I don't want to plan & pay a Taxi Cab every time I need a car, this would be a nightmare.

What's the big deal about driving a car?

 

[HobeSoundDarryl]

Make the Apple car the next generation Porsche and I'm in. But where will we put our Apple stickers if the Apple car is already branded?!? 😆

In your wallet... to make it seem like there's something left in it... and/or to prevent it from collapsing upon itself and becoming a singularity. 😉

Dead on arrival.

Dead on arrival.

Can't be dead on arrival if it never arrives...

Just like fusion energy then. OK.

My interest level in a self-driving car: ZERO. Cars are meant to be driven. If I don't want to drive I can call an Uber, Lyft or taxi or get someone else to drive. If I have to choose between having a Porsche and owning a self-driving vehicle my choice is already done.

I don't even like automatics - I much prefer the engaged driving experience of a manual transmission.

 

[Supercyborgninja]

lmao by then, Tesla will have put most legacy automakers in dire straits and have full self driving solved

im sure apple will totally eat Tesla's lunch, except for the fact that every apple car sold will earn Tesla profits from superchargers 🤣

Hopefully by then we’ll have divested away from Elongated child.

Or maybe it’ll have a periscope lens?

Or a mount for an iPhone on front to use Continuity Camera?

The Apple Car was never unveiled

Came here to find this comment. Happy to see it was the first one. 🙂

 

[orbital~debris]

Since the Apple Car was unveiled in 2014

🤣🤣🤣 MR getting delusional again…

 

[jonnysods]

I forgot all about this thing.

 

[tomtad]

I thought this had already been canned

I've lived this way for 20 years and I have no desire to go back to owning a car.

 

[Mrkevinfinnerty]

Dead on arrival.

It has no steering wheel and is controlled by Siri so you probably will be.

 

[dontwalkhand]

The big question is can they name it without using the term Pro?

Since you gotta drive it yourself now this one is the Pro.

The self driving one wouldn’t be Pro.

I’m the same. I’ve got better things to do with my life than sit in traffic watching the bumper of the car in front. A self-driving car that lets me sleep on the back seat or watch a film while it deals with the tedium of crawling through traffic would be perfect.

This is going to age like milk.

I just don't buy this "Apple Car" rumor.

This is heavy manufacturing we're talking about here. With that comes large factories, unions, supply chain, endless regulations, safety ratings.. ETC. I don't see Apple or any company being able to boot something like that up in 4 years.

It's not like Foxconn is going to roll out an Apple Car like they do iPhones. This is heavy manufacturing at a large scale. The only way that this would make sense would be to partner with an existing manufacturer.

 

[bigjnyc]

Given the ridiculous VP pricing, an apple car would probably cost $250k

 

[Timo_Existencia]

If Apple wants to disrupt, they should perfect the Hydrogen Fuel Cell model, not electric.

I feel the same way about my 2014 Altima.

No, think what size vehicle is the most practical design for a family to own and build that first.

First of all, the expected size of a family car has ballooned in the US over the past 25 years, especially compared to the rest of the world, where small 6 seater MPVs are common.

Second, this kind of conventional wisdom is exactly what will result in Apple getting to 6% market share instead of redefining the category.

There's a real opportunity for a super slick, high tech urban vehicle that is not a road hog. Think about what VW did to the industry in the 1970s. That was disruptive. The conditions are ripe for it to happen again.

Maybe Pro is not short for professional, but short for Profound.

Sony just announced a partnership with Honda at CES, so this timing makes sense.
