This will be fun to watch unfold. A company with no innovative leadership since Jobs will get a bunch of Tesla rejects to build a an electric car with pie in the sky battery tech. If it doesn't need lithium they might have a shot.

Also Apple isn't known for being a machine learning company, I'm sure the car will be very pretty but they're kidding themselves if they think they are making a self driving system that to sell. MobilEye already has that covered quite well.

No innovative leadership? How can you say that after the Apple Watch, Apple Silicon, etc and their stock having grown so much?

Remember the first versions of Apple Maps compared to the (relative) incumbent's? It felt incredibly half-baked and received user/media feedback accordingly.

I can already see this happening with cars with the same response - "Well... building a [map/car/ml system] is hard..."
