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.

After a little research Apple realized that someone beat them to the whole "rounded corners" thing in the car industry.

Funny, I assumed that they figured out that these would never fly. Unlike clocks that were eventually miniaturized for wearing up the ass, cars have to actually be bigger than the ass. Only in Soviet Russia where car gets in your ass, would this be possible.
And let's be honest, Soviet Russia hasn't been around for decades now.
