Apple has an order of magnitude more cars in its self-driving fleet:

Apple has expanded its fleet of self-driving cars in California, registering an additional two dozen vehicles with the state's Department of Motor Vehicles. It's a significant expansion for a company that has been seen as lagging in the race to build self-driving cars.

Apple originally registered three Lexus Rx450h SUVs under its permit to test autonomous vehicles in April 2017. Since then, it has acquired an additional 24 Lexus SUVs, according to the DMV: two in July, seven in October, two in November, six in December, and seven in January. The news was first reported by Bloomberg.

Apple has scaled back its self-driving car plans from creating a vehicle to creating software for them.

  Now, we all know the only demographic that drives Lexus SUVs -- Asian women. Asian women congregate only in safe, White neighborhoods.

  Some of these days, one of them will bobbit you.
  You are safe only in Mexican neighbourhoods, relocate quickly there. I heard you like mariachi anyway.
