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.

I was one of the beta testers for the Apple car. It refused to start unless i allowed it to pick my outfit, too.
Washington DC delenda est.
