Documents confirm Apple is building self-driving car
Apple is building a self-driving car in Silicon Valley, and is scouting for secure locations in the San Francisco Bay area to test it, the Guardian has learned. Documents show the oft-rumoured Apple car project appears to be further along than many suspected.
- lets hope it doesn't use maps for navigation - gonna be a lot of Apple cars in the ocean.fadein11

- Bullshit. Everyone knows apple stopped working on new projects after jobs died. That is well documented by opinions in this thread.monospaced
- Only google bothers innovating. Apple is dead in the water and only updated gadgets and polishes shitty pcsmonospaced
- lol mono - why do you care so much? i personally would leave car making to the experts...fadein11
- You call them "experts"? Look at the abysmal mpg ratings cars in the US get. Most cars are still running on dirty oil and polluting the air.iCanHazQBN
- They aren't experts. The auto industry needs a complete overhaul. Tesla, Apple, and Google are trying to break the mold.iCanHazQBN
- And mono, besides this car thing, what has Apple innovated? This is literally the first thing we've heard about in many years.iCanHazQBN
- ...everything so far has been the iPhone resized and sold as various products (iPad, Apple Watch).iCanHazQBN
- Lol. You are repeating what I just said. Anyway. Apple of course is always working on shit. Even if you don't hear about it. It's their style.monospaced
- So far this is still a rumor and Apple hasn't commented. Will be interesting.monospaced
- conclusion, the apple car is a large ipad.yurimon
- lol @mono's first couple of notesjaylarson
- BBC promoted it as the "ultimate mobile device" which I thought was nice... @Ican - cars are still based on 150 year old technology - ooooh I wonder why that isfadein11
- and don't expect Apple to be any different because even they are not bigger than that monopoly.fadein11
- Wow. Apple is working on a self-driving car. So cutting edge. So is everyone right now - tech companies to auto manufacturers.ETM
- Exactly. I saw a demo of a perfectly functional autonomous car in 1998 at my university.monospaced
- Most interesting thing is how they design it... I mean, would apple just use the stock standard windscreen wipers all others do?inteliboy
- I hope that it does not look like their Magic Mouse...Derp!utopian
- mono, your first two comments seemed sarcastic. That's why I responded as I did.iCanHazQBN
- They were.monospaced
- And you firmly believe apple doesn't innovate and possibly can't. That's fine to have different opinions.monospaced
- If Apple is working on an actual car we will see. Plenty of people will label the fictional car a failure because well. Apple is pure fail.monospaced
- A trend that is well documented by the incorrect Apple doom comments going back a decade in this thread.monospaced
- lol... I think you said the same about the mythical watch. Looking forward to seeing the Apple car adverts all about how they have revolutionised getting fromfadein11
- A to B. 'we took an internal combustion engine and 4 wheels and stuck an apple logo on it and it has revolutionised getting from A to B'fadein11
- yawn. the echo chamber of apple hate is endless. all companies have cringey advertising claiming their shit is the best.inteliboy
- Tesla took a lotus. Put batteries in it and slapped on a new logo and they revolutionized cars no?monospaced
- Nobody would expect them to start from scratch and nobody could give them credit for inventing self driving tech either.monospaced
- But if they did make the first self driving production consumer vehicle then they could get the credit for that at least. I am doubtful they are though.monospaced
- yeah but its still trickle down tech. nothing revolutionary nor intended to give to much to soon. they will drip update and stretch out as long as possible anyyurimon
- tech advances unless there is a shift from a revolutionary company for real.yurimon
- As long as people pay for shit they will keep on their path but if one year people say no n fu, then you will see strategy meeting, why they are rejected.yurimon
- fan boys are the ultimate false feed back for a company. if people just hold out for one year n not buy with a list of grievances. they will deliver fast in 6yurimon
- with no errors guaranteed.yurimon
- Apple's output has been buggy on all fronts. Im not sure I am ecstatic about them making a car.docpoz
