Apple Watch Chief Kevin Lynch Now Leading Apple Car Efforts

Another story today said Apple won't be partnering with an existing car manufacturer on this. Which means they need to build one (or likely several) car plants, doesn't it? And soon. You can't hide those.
What I don’t get is that car theft is huge in the U.K. as is iPhone theft. There’s a huge crime surge with people having their iPhones stolen directly out of their hands on the streets. Those that go around driving an apple car which will no doubt be an amazing vehicle will literally have their homes targeted by thieves to steal an apple car. It’s going to be like a giant iPhone times hundred. The insurance is going to be insane on an apple car as they will be stolen left, right and centre.
Not if the wheel hubs are huge AirTags.
Another move that clearly shows that there is no Apple Car on the horizon. In any case, Apple is already late unless they have some out of the world battery technology in their sleeve, which is highly unlikely.
Most Apple Watch features are about health which is under strict scrutiny from organizations like the FDA and medical oversight boards. They move very slowly and require months or years of testing before they approve health features to be sold to consumers.
Apple Car = Apple TV Set. Products that were rumored forever and never showed up. At least that is what I think. But if it does show up I'll buy one, in black, white, or gold. 
From their smallest to their biggest product. I must admit I'm very curious to see what this Apple Car is going to look like, I feel as if we've been reading rumours about it for almost a decade.
Shouldn’t the leader of a first time car project be...oh I don’t know...experienced in the car industry???
Well, a car is a lot like a watch, so bring it on. NOT
Can’t wait for Apple Car Series 0 (retroactive name) that will be super-slow and without software updates after just 2 years 😉
The push yourself option. Green, environmental friendly, long lasting battery, and brings out the Superman in you. And probably a social experience as well.
Yes! I like this guy and he seems a great example of 'Apple culture'.
I love what they've done with his keynote persona in the pre-recorded video segments (IIRC, one had him beamed via a site-to-site transport across Park, using his Watch!) and it feels like the 'image-people' at Apple have been sprucing him up for more primetime as "(a) face of the company", in a similar way Craig Federighi has evolved.
I can picture him on stage talking about Apple's future vehicle in the same way he brought excitement & a clear dedication to product in Watch intros.

And there will be an option to customize the seat belts to match your Watch band
Or the Apple Car Shuffle which will drive you to random destinations 😁
This is great news for consumers.
Lynch will deliver.
After that crushing news the other day of the depature, my faith is restored in the possibility of fully automated driving with complete privacy built-in.

It will lock you out if your rings are not closed.
Wasn't he in charge of Adobe Flash before joining Apple? That's similar to car development.
Eye roll...
