So are they building it or not? There is a lot of speculation out there.
From the Onion:
> After dominating sales of smartphones, tablets, and other electronics, Apple is reportedly secretly designing its first car, code-named Titan. Here are some features of Apple’s rumored car:
>
> ```
> Windshield features four times as many pixels as reality
> Full vertical integration with Apple Gasoline
> Driver prompted to sign into iCloud before each gear shift
> Compatible with most major roads
> Recommends new driving speeds based on user’s past favorites
> Sleek, unobtrusive airbags
> Cup holder
> Windshield cracks easily, though car typically still works fine afterward
> Sticker price of $85,000 drops to $199 with two-year Verizon contract
> Wheels turn into rainbow pinwheels whenever car stalls
> Lightweight but powerful enough to careen across six lanes of traffic and through guardrails of overpass
> Comes with couple of cool Apple stickers
>
> ```

I’m sure that Apple has had teams of people working on a many secret projects over the years. Probably only a fraction of them ever have/will see the light of day.
That being said, they certainly have the cash to pull it off.

Well the recent reports have them pulling a lot of automotive minded people to their staff, so naturally everyone is asking why.
I’d love to see them do this a-la-Tesla.

Maybe they are facing a crash Auto industry style and decided to bring in those who know how to fail best?
If they decide to compete with Tesla it will be amazing as competition breeds even more innovation and in that market it could be great. Increasing performance and decreasing price is a win/win.

I’ll wait and buy the Samsung knockoff that looks almost identical, comes with 3x as many useless features but randomly crashes into the ditch for no reason at all.

i read the 4x more pixels than reality…lol
i would bet that apple is bringing the brains into their org moreso to develop integrated products for automobiles rather than actually building full on cars. Apple outsources most of their production anyways doesnt it? i know outsouricng production does exist but not on an apple scale…
blackberry is already in the space as well for the software aspect and Ford just opened up an office in silicon valley to integrate culture and technology as well.
