Google maps has been out for more than 7 years where as Apple maps has only been out for about 2-3. I'd gladly help Apple improve theirs as I prefer it over Googles offering in its current state in iOS 9.
Unlike Google, Apple doesn't usually dabble or do Moon shots (I hear these thing will get your drunk ;-), so I'd expect they'Re in there for quite a while.
I think the time for someone buying Tesla has passed. Massive, but smart spending in CapEx which will generate great growth for the stockholders.
If it were to be anyone it would be Alphabet/Google. The new structure would allow Musk to still run things and they would still report their own earnings and he can get his massive stock options for delivering the Model 3. Maybe this is what Apple is afraid of.

2nd? How about the 3rd which mostly have better battery than the 2nd... or 4th much more better than the 3rd..
Btw.. The 1st gen Apple-1 is very expensive now...
Yeah and completely destroy the environment in the process. Nice one.Apple Car? No thanks. I'd rather be driving this.
Actually, from a business perspective, it was an amazing idea to buy a company that can sell a $4 pair of headphones for $300 (your figures), it would represent a return on investment (ROI) of 7400%! Apple is an astonishingly successful company, of which there can be no disagreement. I'm sure they calculated the cost of purchasing Beats from many different financial perspectives!
As far as those who badmouth the Beats headphones so, I'm a producer, videographer and audio designer - and have earned 8-Emmy awards in the technical craft categories. Two of the Emmys were for audio production mixing, editing and design. It's not at all uncommon to spend $300 (or more!) for a set of professional headphones, or even high-end consumer grade ones. The Beats Solo 2 Wireless headphones sound fantastic, are very comfortable to wear for long periods and are very stylish and well-made. That they're wireless is also fantastic, as it makes for a much nicer editing and mixing environment to not be physically "tethered" to your workstation, and that you can make and take phone calls without removing the headphones!
If you don't like Beats headphones - don't buy them! But why do some folks obsess over them so? Maybe they should just move on and clear the apparently limited bandwidth in their brains?
Similarly, If Apple decides to design, build and sell an electric, autonomous driving car, I think it will be a premium product of that genre, and will be that by which many others are judged.
Interesting: a phone that holds your personal data and lets you make your payments. A watch that knows your health parameters. And now a car that will drive for you. I love computers in general, and Macs in particular, but I don't like how this future sounds.
No kidding! If it can't get a map correct, do you really want it trying to drive you around? Sheesh!
They should probably just do battery-tech themselves. The future of batteries for such things isn't lithium-ion.
It's "the next big thing" in the minds of the futurists, I guess. But, I agree with you. And it isn't just the legal aspects that are problematic.
If they would buy Tesla, i can't imagine what would happenI think the beats purchase is really understandable, now they promote them as their own brand. Lets be honest the quality isn't that bad when you compare to other brands like Bose or Sony. (not talking about Senheizer, AT, ..)
I don't think Beats had much to do with their technology (what technology?). It was an attempt to buy into pop-culture and 'fashion.'
They don't have to follow a 12-month upgrade cycle for every product... that's just the tendency for iPhone people (and even then, I'd say it's more like 24-month on average). It sure seems they want to push that tendency on all their product categories, but they don't need to.
And, while I might debate some of the reasons for the trend, I think it's hard to deny that electric cars are going to be the future. I'm a sports-car enthusiast (guess what the 928 in my name refers to), and I'd LOVE a Tesla P85D! (If I had the cash, I'd even put up with having to take several days and make special arrangements to get one up to where I live... hehe.)
But, I found the 'cost will run into the billions' comment to be funny. Billions is now chump-change for Apple if it is a product they want to pursue, and I'm sure it will be MANY billions. Not a problem, though.
Hehe, yea. The phone holding the personal data (aside from privacy concerns) is something I'd probably use, if it weren't a kind of all-or-nothing thing. If I have to carry my wallet anyway, it's easier just to pull out the debit/credit card, etc. Maybe we'll get there some day.
Likewise with the watch. It tracks some health parameters, but unfortunately, aside from a few vertical markets, the health data it is tracking is kind of last-decade (or worse) in terms of nutrition/health science, so rather useless.
And, a car that will drive for you (aside from some assistive technology aspects) is worse than above, in terms of selling the 'futurist' pipe-dream. I'm sure hoping it's a real car that's fun to drive.
LOL!!! Yea, don't you find it a bit interesting that with all this excitement over autonomous vehicles, that the companies working on them can't even make tech-gadgets and software that works all that well?
Why would a computer company start building cars? This is like Disney starting a pharmaceutical company. My best bet is that they are probably building some new -computer-technology that can be implemented in other cars but I seriously doubt we will see the iCar.
