1st Gear: The Apple Car Is No More

Building cars is hard. Tesla knows that. Google learned it the hard way too. And the latest tech giant to discover limits to its car-building ambitions is Apple, which according to Bloomberg , has given up on making its own car.

Granted, I've always thought that Apple's ultimate aim was to develop software or technology it could use to partner with existing automakers, rather than its own vehicle, but now that definitely seems to be the case. Now Apple is focused on creating autonomous systems for other companies.

    Changed headline because I see no evidence that "shitshow" was said by anybody other than the Jalopnik editor (part of the Gawker/Gizmodo family).

    I noticed the headline change. :-)

    Thank you for that touch of class.

    Perhaps overly pedantically, Jalopnik was formerly part of Gawker Media (which in turn was owned by Fusion Media Group) but is now part of Gizmodo Media Group which is part of Univision Communications .
