The Apple Car

So Apple are recruiting people and key personnel from other vehicle manufacturers, also Ford now say they consider Apple the next player in the game.

Who would by an Apple car?

Great. We'll get a Ford Focus that looks nice, but has tech from 3 years previous and always playing catch up and pay Porsche money for it.

Then the FBI will tear it apart!

I would honestly like to see the statistics that show this overwhelming public demand for cars that drive themselves, as I just don't get it.

If you don't like driving your own car, just get the fucking bus.

Let's have a look at the facts...

Apple have recruited some personnel from the car industry.... Check.

Everything else is speculation and therefore, who gives a shit?

It's not just some people, the people they are recruiting are quite key within the industry, that coupled with Ford and others saying future competitors are likely to be the likes of Apple.

Speculation yeah, same is true for any comments on next ten BMW's, speculation who gives a shit.

Same here, but my friend, it appears that the majority of people are simply mindless fools.

Like they say, eat shit, billions of flies can't be wrong
