What are you basing that on? Other than misplaced scepticism, I mean.

Especially one involving a company which thought the butterfly keyboard was a wonderful idea and flogged it for three years...
Apple Car could be expensive like a Porsche Taycan. Maybe 50,000 per year. Internet search shows Porsche sold 20,000 Taycans in 2021.
Apple can't even ship a web browser with a working sidebar. I don't have much confidence in their ability to put a self-driving car into volume production any time soon.
You don't realize it, but you're actually giving Tesla a huge complement. A self-driving car that's as good as a 16-year-old driver is a tremendous accomplishment. I don't think Tesla is quite there yet overall. In some situations it's better, in others it's worse. But no other company's autonomous vehicles can drive as well as the FSD beta in any given location. And FSD significantly improves every 2-4 weeks.
What Apple and Tim Cook needs to is a brute force take over of Tesla, kick out Elon and rebrand it Apple Car.
Given Apple's horrible track record for turning out buggy FW, I don't want to be within 100 miles of one of their "demolition derby" cars! ☠️
Introducing Apple Garage!
Lucid Air is supposedly making a very good EV with long range. Apple could take-over this company and put an Apple on the hood.
While I feel confident we will see an Apple-branded car at some point, that point doesn’t seem anywhere near 2025. Feels more like 2030. Ish.
And nobody though AlphaGo could beat a human player, and then it did. And then it beat the world's best.
Level 5 is possible, but it's only achievable if majority of cars on the road are Level 4 and above. It's not possible at current time, but I wouldn't say never.
Apple doesn't have the stomach for mass production of cars. Full stop. It's not about cash, it's about will. And Apple is way too risk averse.
"Yes sir, I know you came in to have your broken headlight replaced but that requires us to replace the whole front end and that will be $ 15,000. Your other option is to buy a new Apple Car for $ 75,000"
IF you want mass production by 2025 you'd need prototypes on the road now - where are those?
I still do not believe that Apple will ever build a car ...
and this tweet, IF Lynch indeed took over last year, he'd be done with re-org and on a hiring spree ... this Kuo twittering stuff is not convincing ...

I guess Stans have low standards.
You clearly do not have the beta. Some things get better, some things regress. Overall, it's hardly improved from the original release.
Which people? Kia/Hyundai which in some ways a newcomer but doing quite well in the EV sector as well as other parts of the market. Or Chrysler; oh. wait they lost their way and were bought by Mercedes and then sold which was then merged a couple of times. Or Ford and GM which has lost their way many times; and one of them was bailed out by the US government. Or Tesla which is living off of government hand outs. Or VW which lied and poisoned the air?
