Darn. Now I’ll never be able to not buy one.
I swear, this project has been declared dead like 5 times already by the media. Is it actually dead this time?
The main advantages of Apple Car® is that it runs on Apple Road® and Apple Fuel®. It was made of commonly available standardised components such as nuts and bolts but with special Apple Thread Pitch® that require Apple Spanner® to use them. There are no instruction manuals to repair Apple Car®, only Apple Dealership® is permitted. The outcome of the marketing effort causes the users to eventually become delusional about the product, believing that they own the best product and refusing to entertain any evidence to the contrary, much like religious beliefs.
I always saw this as just a way to compete with Google.
Maybe it was, but I think it was because analysts argued that full self driving will be a multi trillion dollar business. And Apple wanted a piece of that pie.
Now I guess they figure the pie might be less attractive compared to just working on AI without the car.
Their success with apple maps / navigation foreshadowed this event. They couldn’t even figure that out.
Jesus christ, you realize that happened 11 years ago, right?
Yes. That would be in the past, making it foreshadowing.
It feels like this comment is supposed to be negative/sarcastic, but Apple Maps is actually good, so I am not sure where you’re going with this.
