The angle would be treating it as a new front in the war with Google and Microsoft.

Car = game console = phone = laptop

Just another platform to own, so that one might control and tax users there-on.

That's a point on a strategy slide, not the 'angle' that gives them an entry point into the market.

It doesn't make design/manufacture/distribute cars - a massively complex thing - any easier.

It's very hard to enter markets against big incumbents, there needs to be some kind of approach.

Apple can expect to lose a lot of money for a very long time unless they are doing something tangential.
