If Apple is serious about this, then they're likely waiting for a legacy automaker to become distressed and buy them (and their battery supply contracts) on the cheap. That's the only scenario that fits the six year timeline mentioned in the "Go it alone" report.

If actually Apple sells them, rather than deploying them in cities as a ride sharing service.I’ll probably buy an Apple Car second-hand.
Ever seen that thing from the back? If that’s the one I’m thinking of, it is uuuugly.
