"would it be feasible to build our own car manufacturer" to "no it's not feasible" isn't exactly attempting it.

Well they hired people and then fired them, so whatever you want to call that. I have a friend that was at Google and a friend that was at Apple, each was laid off because they no longer want to manufacture cars, which is why they were hired. Also Google actually did manufacture those weird small cars that they've been using for some time, and decided they don't want to mass manufacture them.
