You have it backwards... Many car manufacturers, and pretty much every luxury car manufacturer even today, have pulled scummy moves like non-standard parts, voiding warranty if your car was repaired by a non-authorized garage, charging exorbitant fees for basic maintenance, etc. for decades even before Apple was a company. Where do you think Apple got their ideas from? The term "planned obsolescence" was coined by the automotive industry to begin with.
How nice, that a company with no plan to make a car, can have 250 patents, that can potentially block other car manufacturers from improving their cars. The world is strange.
I own a patent from back in university. It's nothing you'll ever see on store shelves. Patents are definitely a cutthroat business. When I applied I got swarmed with accusations of stealing other people's ideas by organizations all over the world. Some were baseless, nearly all didn't do due diligence and fucking READ what my patent was. It was kind of a headache and I was just a little shitkicker grad student with a new kind of device in my lap. And then there's patent evergreening which unfortunately EVERYONE does. You can act all noble and caring and not engage in the practice, but dozens/hundreds of corps. will just rip you off and do it for you. You have no choice but to play dirty like everyone else.
@@pvshka So we should just invest millions/billions of dollars, years/decades of research into something and just be like, 'ayy lmao here you go! don't even trip it's on the house'.
Nah, you could take it to the Apple Store and change the touchscreen windshield, but would cost more than the car was worth. Might as well trade it for a new one. 😂
That's Tesla all right. They make all of their components in-house and exclusively for new production vehicles, not as spares to be sent out to service centers to repair damaged components. Trash a door or a bumper on your Tesla, that's a five-figure repair bill and a months-long wait for them to finally release a replacement part off the assembly line. It'd be quicker and easier (for _them,_ of course) if you just got a new car instead of trying to fix the old one.
I realize you are exaggerating but you do realize that is billion with a B? $10 billion to a trillion dollar company is not cheap. Most companies don’t reach billions of dollars. It’s probably closer to the average person spending $1000-$10,000.
is 10 billion of actual money, and they are worth a Trillion, but doesn't mean they have that as the whole budget ..also mostly speculation and shares, is not "real" money, be sure if tomorrow they want that Trillion to be money they would loose like half or more on the chaos..

I love the Cold Fusion community, as expected the comments section mirrored what I was thinking about an Apple Car. Absolute golden comedy and great puns by Dagogo 😂😂😂
I bought a MacBook Pro several years ago and the computer wouldn’t turn on after three days of use. I call them, they tell me the computer can’t be replaced and that I had to send it in for repair. I was upset but did it. Computer came back and within a few weeks it had another issue. They take it back for repair again even though I expressed my clear disappointment in the investment. I told them essentially I’m buying a refurbished computer at full price, they argue that it’s not. I tell them if the seal of the computer is cracked then it’s been opened and that’s not a factory new computer anymore. They tell me their policy was that the computer had to come back three times under warranty before they issued a new computer. After the second issue I had a third, and they sent me a new one and within 6 months the silly fancy LCD STRIP on the keyboard went out. I would never trust a car they make . Going forward I’m only buying the iPad or the Mac mini, nothing else. Most of what they make is annoying and limiting somehow.
No way would a single dude leaving result in a company stopping a project worth billions. If he had that much pull, they would've raised his pay to keep him. Odds are, he was made aware earlier than others of the possible closure of the program due to other reasons, and he decided to find another job in the same field before that happened.
@@TheBooban you think the second largest company in terms of how much money they make *doesn't* care about money at all? Lol. You don't get to that point without caring about money. Also, they are a publicly owned company. That means by law, they HAVE to care about money
who are you talking about? The person I was talking about them wanting to keep would be DJ Nevotney, the person mentioned in the video as one of the key people of the project that left it. That's who I was talking about in relation to giving a raise. Not Ives
Tesla already have micro transactions in their car though. You want to "unlock" the full car you bought, that's just a "small" payment away. Will that stay unlocked when you sell the car? Nope.
@@MetallicRegI mean Apple doesn't have microtransactions. That's the one thing you shouldn't criticize them for because they don't do it. Telsa and other car manufacturers does.
I don't understand why Apple would spend billions on a conceptual car, but not millions to buy Masimo in order to not have to disable the blood oxygen sensors on the Apple Watch...
@simille4 --- It's really simple. Apple understands math, and you don't. Masimo currently has a market cap of 7 billion dollars. If you really wanted to buy them it would cost an addition 25%, so now you're up to around 9 billion. That's way too much to spend on a feature like blood oxygen sensors. The payback on that is never.
Apple got cocky and thought it was easy to make a car and make tons of money from it. They missed calculate by hiring a FORD engineers to be their head. Anything coming from FORD is dead. Secondly, they thought having a lot of people working on Self driving can solve self driving but they are wrong. Third, they don't have manufacturing to build their car. In china an EV startup can have a car manufactured easier because they have tons of supplier and manufacturing. So happy Apple got humbled

When it mentioned they had plenty of patents, I was certain in my hunch that this was another "patent grab" to squeeze out money for obvious solutions down the line.
The only integration in a car I want to see is an engine hooked to a transmission that has a set of gears selected with a stick shift and clutch combo. I want to see just enough gages to safely operate the car (tach, spedo, temp, battery/charge). I want comfortable supportive seats, roll down windows, and A/C and heater. That's all. Package that in a somewhat small two-seater sports car and I am more than happy.
It's amazing how many companies were trying to make self-driving cars, but it turned out to be such an insanely difficult task that not even Apple could do it
Tesla did it. Apple had no chance, for self-driving you need a large neural net, and for training that you need obscene amount of data, and to collect that you need a large fleet of cars (millions). And even making an EV you can sell at a profit is insanely hard. AFAIK still only Tesla could do it, everyone else is losing money on each sale.
I think many companies underestimate the amount regulation you need to meet in order to make a vehicle. Given its Apple, it probably wanted to reinvent the wheel every step of the way to differentiate itself in the market. They really wanted the Apple Car to the iPhone of cars. But as the schedule slipped, features that were novel at the time slowly found themselves into the market, and the Apple Car just became another EV. And being full of proprietary BS, with the need to make sure the parts pass FMVSS, and find third party manufactures to make them etc, drove up cost. I will not be surprised if they were having trouble bring the retail price down to $100k.
I still don’t believe Apple was ever that serious about building a car. Building services like autonomy sure, but a full car? There’s just no evidence they spent much time on it. All conjecture.
I used to run a design research lab for the connected car at a major tech firm. I can confirm it's common practice to test an idea by having someone pretend to be the technology, because you need to know the idea is good before all the invesent of time and money. You can't wait till the tech exists before testing the ux. We call it a "Wizard of Oz" test. .
It's just standard product development ? - not everything comes to market - to characterise it as a flop reflects a lack of understanding product develoment.
Gosh I remember everyone jumping on the self-driving car thing almost as hard as they're jumping on AI now. Turns out it was harder than they thought. Who knew?
Well, the background leading up to that was an annual contest by DARPA, in which teams typically formed of a university partnering with a company's laboratory competed with other teams to make a vehicle that could autonomously navigate some closed test course. At first, the results were as you'd think, typically aim just to get an entry to work at all, mostly an excuse for students and researchers to play with and push technologies. The general consensus seemed to be that autonomous driving wouldn't be feasible in anyone's then lifetime, but hey, a good excuse to see what you can learn about AI and how to make it work, an exciting academic challenge rather than a prospect. But each year entries got a bit better. Eventually, vehicles were completing complex courses, and at one point a closed city street scape was used I understand. After that, DARPA stopped holding the competition, as it was no longer advanced research, and rather development. Companies took that as a sign that autonomous driving was now a commercial possibility, or not so far away. No one wanted to miss a gold rush. But as you said, it (unsurprisingly) proved harder, even after the successes at the DARPA competitions. It's a challenge with a very, very long tail of situations to successfully handle. Some recent videos show FSD trying to slowly nose its way out of a narrow alley across a sidewalk and into a street, without being able to see so far down the sidewalk or road. Or navigating a busy Costco parking lot with an endless stream of pedestrians pushing large carts of groceries and purchases, and cars and pickups pulling in and out of parking spots. Or a construction zone. Variable weather, potholes, other drivers whose intent you have to suss in a context dependent way, kids playing. It's surprising that autonomous driving has gotten as far as it has. Seeing some recent videos, it's spookily human like in its manner...but also some needed human interventions. Is it a year away, a decade, or never? Does it require full AGI (general intelligence)? I doubt that anyone can quite know yet. And maybe we're actually even approaching the Kurzweil singularity, beyond which progress gets ahead of human ability to foresee. (But to end on a positive note, driver assist has gotten way better it seems to me, a benefit even if full AD is Never, or next century.)
Literally every human being with brain. One unusual thing on the road and self-driving car is done. Literally, just one cone that is weirdly placed when there is construction on the road and self-driving car is done for. Human just eyeballs it.
@@Zoltan1251 "One unusual thing on the road and self-driving car is done" Worse: car manufacturers will never accept responsibility for damage caused by their self-driving tech, so insurance companies will; always blame *you* for any accidents that your car causes. This means that you will always be monitoring the your self driving car like you see the testers do today: constantly looking at the vehicle and traffic and trying to predict what mistake the car is about to make and pre-emptively correct for it. It's exhausting, annoying, it's *more work than driving*.
Agreed. But this is inevitable. Apps like Uber are just collecting data enough to use with self-driving cars in a near future. It was harder then they thought, but It is getting better and easier exponentially. Take that Will Smith eating pasta for example: just in a year the video changed from "funny unreal" to "is this real?". We will probably get to a point that to drive a car you'll need a document and a private road (something that already happens with horses, you can't ride them in the middle of NY). I'm not saying that I agree with it, just saying that this will happen and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about.
Imagine having to buy a dongle just to charge your car, and then also having to replace your charging cable every few months. "We've revolutionized the car by removing unnecessary old clutter like ports, doors, and people."
Without full self driving, this would just have been another car but without the manufacturing experience. Better use that AI staff for other more plausible AI uses.
I'm glad you mentioned that Apple didn't say this 'will' be a product. Another issue that would have come up is that other car manufacturers would stop supporting Apple CarPlay. It's going to be hard to have human driving and fully Tomas (if we get there) on the road at the same time; I've seen so many human drivers doing things that confuse other drivers; an autonomous one would probably have a more challenging time figuring out what's happening.
It makes sense on a certain level for Apple to want to launch a car product, however I think this is a very mature industry which makes manufacturing to the level of Apple's high standards very difficult. Apple also doesn't like launching loss-leading products, so they would want to sell something that would add profit to their business. Doing it alone would probably skyrocket the cost and probably result in them still falling below quality standards, so the only way this ever made sense was for Apple to partner with an existing manufacturer, one that is premium enough to satisfy the quality requirements such as Porsche. Apple was right to dismiss Tesla as Tesla manufacturing is nowhere near the quality level of most car makers, let alone the premium brands. Apple probably doesn't necessarily _want_ to own the manufacturing facilities, either, so paying a premium to partner with an existing manufacturer makes financial sense. However, the obvious question becomes what will Apple offer to separate their car from other brands beyond the Apple name? I imagine Apple was struggling to answer that question. I also would guess that they, like many others, suspected that fully autonomous vehicles would be arriving much earlier than they actually are. The technology just isn't there for safe, fully autonomous vehicles and it's anyone's guess as to when it will be, if ever. Unlike Tesla, Apple doesn't promise things it can't deliver and generally doesn't bring a product to market before it's finished. Launching a half-baked car that is like every other car would have been a big mistake. I imagine they'll revisit the idea at some point, but probably at least a decade or two from now.
Excellent post! You have one of the best channels available on this platform. As for the project, I highly doubt that Jobs would have embarked on it, especially at this cost. All of which begs the question, why is Cook still their CEO? Granted, he had some huge shoes to fill but Apple hasn't produced any revolutionary products since Jobs passed away and, in terms of functionality, one can argue the software has declined. One of the attributes that Jobs possessed, and what made Apple products so neat, was the simplicity of design and functionality.
We should be happy this car project didn't make it because imagine telling your Siri "Stop the car" and she'd be like "Okay, starting to go faster by your request". "SIRI I SAID STOP" "Okay, playing please stop by Sirin on Apple Music"
There was so much talk a decade ago about retraining truckies etc for when driving was obsolete, saying retrain in coding etc. Funny bow that we're in the future it feels like all that type of work is under threat, but good old fashioned labour like driving is still needed.
Very deep & philosophical. but the video literally states it's taking coding jobs and a part of big tech lay offs. muh fEelInGs are that those jobs are more likely to be in the realm of coding than truck driving
If you sit in it, Apple owns the right to your organ in case of an accident...or if you happen to fall asleep inside. It's written quite clearly on the door handle!
> "Morgan Stanley analysts surmised advances in self-driving could free up trillions of hours per year that Apple could address with new services and products -- a potentially enormous market." Public transit sounds like a much better bet, imo. The tech already exists, and it can free up trillions of hours per year. We just need to improve how nice the service is, its reliability, and make it safer.
Steve Jobs talks to someone about a car and we get "20 years ago Apple was thinking about making a car.". Dang, when I was 7 years old in the 1970s I thought about making a car, a spaceship, a time machine, a robot, etc... I guess I was ahead of them all.)
When corporations grow a set and decide shareholders have enough money so they make up projects they know won’t work. That money ended up in the pockets of executives and their friends. Apple is heading downhill even though they look good on paper. They haven’t innovated for a very long time.

@@MephiticMiasma Yes I'm aware (great Veritasium video). The automotive industry was first though, dating as far back as 1924.
Can you imagine the cost of the genuine (required) Apple charging cable!
Yes, you need to buy $1800 apple outlet to plug the charger into. It detects if it is not getting electricity from an apple outlet and not charge.
Outstanding report. Thank you for producing.
How nice, that a company with no plan to make a car, can have 250 patents, that can potentially block other car manufacturers from improving their cars. The world is strange.
Copyright shouldn't even be a thing. All of the intellectual achievements should be freely distributed to the humankind.
it's OK China would use those patents as they don't care and get shit done. Instead we will buy from them and lose our industry.
I own a patent from back in university. It's nothing you'll ever see on store shelves. Patents are definitely a cutthroat business. When I applied I got swarmed with accusations of stealing other people's ideas by organizations all over the world. Some were baseless, nearly all didn't do due diligence and fucking READ what my patent was. It was kind of a headache and I was just a little shitkicker grad student with a new kind of device in my lap.
And then there's patent evergreening which unfortunately EVERYONE does. You can act all noble and caring and not engage in the practice, but dozens/hundreds of corps. will just rip you off and do it for you. You have no choice but to play dirty like everyone else.
@@pvshka So we should just invest millions/billions of dollars, years/decades of research into something and just be like, 'ayy lmao here you go! don't even trip it's on the house'.

I'd've thought that if Apple made a car and it broke, they wouldn't allow you to fix but would expect you to buy another one.
Nah, you could take it to the Apple Store and change the touchscreen windshield, but would cost more than the car was worth. Might as well trade it for a new one. 😂
It’s called Tesla….
Nonsense, you're simply driving it wrong 🤣
When on a tilt tray the fan boy owners would still claim it's not broken it's just "on display"😂
Buy the extended warranty AppleCar care 🍎 🚘
That's Tesla all right. They make all of their components in-house and exclusively for new production vehicles, not as spares to be sent out to service centers to repair damaged components. Trash a door or a bumper on your Tesla, that's a five-figure repair bill and a months-long wait for them to finally release a replacement part off the assembly line. It'd be quicker and easier (for _them,_ of course) if you just got a new car instead of trying to fix the old one.
Apple spending $10 billion is the same as me spending $1
O’ and Joe spent u to oblivion with EV subsidies . Your future up in smoke 💨
More like spending $1000. It is a trillion dollar company after all
I realize you are exaggerating but you do realize that is billion with a B? $10 billion to a trillion dollar company is not cheap. Most companies don’t reach billions of dollars. It’s probably closer to the average person spending $1000-$10,000.
It's not worth an Apple execs time to stop and pick up a $5 due to lost income.
is 10 billion of actual money, and they are worth a Trillion, but doesn't mean they have that as the whole budget ..also mostly speculation and shares, is not "real" money, be sure if tomorrow they want that Trillion to be money they would loose like half or more on the chaos..
Apple is too controlling, you would never be able to take it to a non authorized dealership for anything
We have Waymo cars here (Phoenix) with no drivers. Pretty jarring at first but I’m totally use to seeing them now. Still think they are neat.

Absolute golden comedy and great puns by Dagogo 😂😂😂
I bought a MacBook Pro several years ago and the computer wouldn’t turn on after three days of use. I call them, they tell me the computer can’t be replaced and that I had to send it in for repair. I was upset but did it. Computer came back and within a few weeks it had another issue. They take it back for repair again even though I expressed my clear disappointment in the investment. I told them essentially I’m buying a refurbished computer at full price, they argue that it’s not. I tell them if the seal of the computer is cracked then it’s been opened and that’s not a factory new computer anymore. They tell me their policy was that the computer had to come back three times under warranty before they issued a new computer. After the second issue I had a third, and they sent me a new one and within 6 months the silly fancy LCD STRIP on the keyboard went out. I would never trust a car they make . Going forward I’m only buying the iPad or the Mac mini, nothing else. Most of what they make is annoying and limiting somehow.
Or you could just...not buy ANYTHING from Apple.
No way would a single dude leaving result in a company stopping a project worth billions. If he had that much pull, they would've raised his pay to keep him. Odds are, he was made aware earlier than others of the possible closure of the program due to other reasons, and he decided to find another job in the same field before that happened.
You think it’s money that motivates Ives? Hardly. At this level, money is not more than points in a game, just status.
@@TheBooban you think the second largest company in terms of how much money they make *doesn't* care about money at all? Lol. You don't get to that point without caring about money. Also, they are a publicly owned company. That means by law, they HAVE to care about money
@@ShaneTheBane we were talking about a person, not a company. You said they have raised his pay to keep him. He wouldn’t have cared for that.
who are you talking about? The person I was talking about them wanting to keep would be DJ Nevotney, the person mentioned in the video as one of the key people of the project that left it. That's who I was talking about in relation to giving a raise. Not Ives
@@ShaneTheBane oh. Well, probably ditto for him too.
Apple could be the first to start the trend of car micro transactions and people would defend them. Scary stuff.
Tesla already have micro transactions in their car though. You want to "unlock" the full car you bought, that's just a "small" payment away. Will that stay unlocked when you sell the car? Nope.
scary my brother, it's a cult system
@@volundrfrey896this was the reason why Apple dropped it. Tesla has stolen their revolutionary milking system.
Tesla and Benz does it already iirc
@@MetallicRegI mean Apple doesn't have microtransactions. That's the one thing you shouldn't criticize them for because they don't do it. Telsa and other car manufacturers does.
I don't understand why Apple would spend billions on a conceptual car, but not millions to buy Masimo in order to not have to disable the blood oxygen sensors on the Apple Watch...
Ego
Because they can... And need to justify their expensive lawyers
Did Masimo entertain offer for sale?
@simille4 --- It's really simple. Apple understands math, and you don't. Masimo currently has a market cap of 7 billion dollars. If you really wanted to buy them it would cost an addition 25%, so now you're up to around 9 billion. That's way too much to spend on a feature like blood oxygen sensors. The payback on that is never.
Apple got cocky and thought it was easy to make a car and make tons of money from it. They missed calculate by hiring a FORD engineers to be their head. Anything coming from FORD is dead. Secondly, they thought having a lot of people working on Self driving can solve self driving but they are wrong. Third, they don't have manufacturing to build their car. In china an EV startup can have a car manufactured easier because they have tons of supplier and manufacturing. So happy Apple got humbled

The only integration in a car I want to see is an engine hooked to a transmission that has a set of gears selected with a stick shift and clutch combo. I want to see just enough gages to safely operate the car (tach, spedo, temp, battery/charge). I want comfortable supportive seats, roll down windows, and A/C and heater. That's all. Package that in a somewhat small two-seater sports car and I am more than happy.
If a component fails, you have to replace the whole car!
The Apple branded 12 volt battery is serialized to the car.
Apple would probably charge a monthly subscription fee to use the car 💀☠💀
SaaS is the future, like it or not
That’s called a lease
On demand ride sharing. That's the future
Apple doesn’t charge a subscription fee when you buy any of there other hardware products.
So you just don't like Apple.
56 hours in emerald? were you in the battle frontier?
It's amazing how many companies were trying to make self-driving cars, but it turned out to be such an insanely difficult task that not even Apple could do it
Just an EV car. They can’t even do that.
I mean they probably could. It would just be insanly expensive.
Lack of data.
Tesla did it.
Apple had no chance, for self-driving you need a large neural net, and for training that you need obscene amount of data, and to collect that you need a large fleet of cars (millions).
And even making an EV you can sell at a profit is insanely hard. AFAIK still only Tesla could do it, everyone else is losing money on each sale.
@@andrasbiro3007 I would suggest to check out Common Sense Skeptic.
I think many companies underestimate the amount regulation you need to meet in order to make a vehicle. Given its Apple, it probably wanted to reinvent the wheel every step of the way to differentiate itself in the market. They really wanted the Apple Car to the iPhone of cars. But as the schedule slipped, features that were novel at the time slowly found themselves into the market, and the Apple Car just became another EV. And being full of proprietary BS, with the need to make sure the parts pass FMVSS, and find third party manufactures to make them etc, drove up cost. I will not be surprised if they were having trouble bring the retail price down to $100k.
Tony Fadell: Our iPhone is just like a car!
Shark Tank: I'm out.
The one concept image early in the video was straight up just a magic mouse with wheels on it. lmao
Kinda wild to consider Apple is so big this write-off is likely within their cash on hand margin for error.
The pitch sounded like a bad con job.
"Siri, I don't know where I am, take me to Point B"
Siri: "Why don't you look out the Windows"?
I still don’t believe Apple was ever that serious about building a car. Building services like autonomy sure, but a full car? There’s just no evidence they spent much time on it. All conjecture.
6:27 I appreciate the Siri slander. 😆
Seeing a Mark Dice quote on a ColdFusion video. That's a real magical intersection
Glad someone else noticed! lol
12:50 Like the Magic Mouse, the charge port was on the bottom of the car 😩😂
I used to run a design research lab for the connected car at a major tech firm. I can confirm it's common practice to test an idea by having someone pretend to be the technology, because you need to know the idea is good before all the invesent of time and money.
You can't wait till the tech exists before testing the ux. We call it a "Wizard of Oz" test.

It's just standard product development ? - not everything comes to market - to characterise it as a flop reflects a lack of understanding product develoment.
Gosh I remember everyone jumping on the self-driving car thing almost as hard as they're jumping on AI now. Turns out it was harder than they thought. Who knew?
Well, the background leading up to that was an annual contest by DARPA, in which teams typically formed of a university partnering with a company's laboratory competed with other teams to make a vehicle that could autonomously navigate some closed test course. At first, the results were as you'd think, typically aim just to get an entry to work at all, mostly an excuse for students and researchers to play with and push technologies. The general consensus seemed to be that autonomous driving wouldn't be feasible in anyone's then lifetime, but hey, a good excuse to see what you can learn about AI and how to make it work, an exciting academic challenge rather than a prospect. But each year entries got a bit better. Eventually, vehicles were completing complex courses, and at one point a closed city street scape was used I understand. After that, DARPA stopped holding the competition, as it was no longer advanced research, and rather development. Companies took that as a sign that autonomous driving was now a commercial possibility, or not so far away. No one wanted to miss a gold rush.
But as you said, it (unsurprisingly) proved harder, even after the successes at the DARPA competitions. It's a challenge with a very, very long tail of situations to successfully handle. Some recent videos show FSD trying to slowly nose its way out of a narrow alley across a sidewalk and into a street, without being able to see so far down the sidewalk or road. Or navigating a busy Costco parking lot with an endless stream of pedestrians pushing large carts of groceries and purchases, and cars and pickups pulling in and out of parking spots. Or a construction zone. Variable weather, potholes, other drivers whose intent you have to suss in a context dependent way, kids playing.
It's surprising that autonomous driving has gotten as far as it has. Seeing some recent videos, it's spookily human like in its manner...but also some needed human interventions. Is it a year away, a decade, or never? Does it require full AGI (general intelligence)? I doubt that anyone can quite know yet. And maybe we're actually even approaching the Kurzweil singularity, beyond which progress gets ahead of human ability to foresee. (But to end on a positive note, driver assist has gotten way better it seems to me, a benefit even if full AD is Never, or next century.)
Literally every human being with brain. One unusual thing on the road and self-driving car is done. Literally, just one cone that is weirdly placed when there is construction on the road and self-driving car is done for. Human just eyeballs it.
@@Zoltan1251 "One unusual thing on the road and self-driving car is done"
Worse: car manufacturers will never accept responsibility for damage caused by their self-driving tech, so insurance companies will; always blame *you* for any accidents that your car causes. This means that you will always be monitoring the your self driving car like you see the testers do today: constantly looking at the vehicle and traffic and trying to predict what mistake the car is about to make and pre-emptively correct for it. It's exhausting, annoying, it's *more work than driving*.
Agreed. But this is inevitable. Apps like Uber are just collecting data enough to use with self-driving cars in a near future. It was harder then they thought, but It is getting better and easier exponentially. Take that Will Smith eating pasta for example: just in a year the video changed from "funny unreal" to "is this real?". We will probably get to a point that to drive a car you'll need a document and a private road (something that already happens with horses, you can't ride them in the middle of NY). I'm not saying that I agree with it, just saying that this will happen and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about.
I knew. Elon's FSD v12 is within sight of the finish line in a one-horse race. Deservedly.

Apple trying to make a car . Are you Siri -us?
When I heard about this, the first thing that came to my mind was 'Cold Fusion will make a video about this'. I'm a happy subscriber.
Without full self driving, this would just have been another car but without the manufacturing experience. Better use that AI staff for other more plausible AI uses.
Apple was saying that producing a car was going to just be as easy as making a phone a few years ago 😂
Haha they should stick to shiny bricks and leave real production to the japanese
Would there have been a $175 activation fee every time to turn on the ignition?
I'm glad you mentioned that Apple didn't say this 'will' be a product. Another issue that would have come up is that other car manufacturers would stop supporting Apple CarPlay.
It's going to be hard to have human driving and fully Tomas (if we get there) on the road at the same time; I've seen so many human drivers doing things that confuse other drivers; an autonomous one would probably have a more challenging time figuring out what's happening.
It makes sense on a certain level for Apple to want to launch a car product, however I think this is a very mature industry which makes manufacturing to the level of Apple's high standards very difficult. Apple also doesn't like launching loss-leading products, so they would want to sell something that would add profit to their business. Doing it alone would probably skyrocket the cost and probably result in them still falling below quality standards, so the only way this ever made sense was for Apple to partner with an existing manufacturer, one that is premium enough to satisfy the quality requirements such as Porsche.
Apple was right to dismiss Tesla as Tesla manufacturing is nowhere near the quality level of most car makers, let alone the premium brands. Apple probably doesn't necessarily _want_ to own the manufacturing facilities, either, so paying a premium to partner with an existing manufacturer makes financial sense. However, the obvious question becomes what will Apple offer to separate their car from other brands beyond the Apple name? I imagine Apple was struggling to answer that question.
I also would guess that they, like many others, suspected that fully autonomous vehicles would be arriving much earlier than they actually are. The technology just isn't there for safe, fully autonomous vehicles and it's anyone's guess as to when it will be, if ever. Unlike Tesla, Apple doesn't promise things it can't deliver and generally doesn't bring a product to market before it's finished. Launching a half-baked car that is like every other car would have been a big mistake. I imagine they'll revisit the idea at some point, but probably at least a decade or two from now.
High Standards ? 😂🤦

Very informative and well researched as usual! You are my favorite channel for keeping up with what is on the cutting edge of technology.
Excellent post! You have one of the best channels available on this platform. As for the project, I highly doubt that Jobs would have embarked on it, especially at this cost. All of which begs the question, why is Cook still their CEO? Granted, he had some huge shoes to fill but Apple hasn't produced any revolutionary products since Jobs passed away and, in terms of functionality, one can argue the software has declined. One of the attributes that Jobs possessed, and what made Apple products so neat, was the simplicity of design and functionality.

As someone who avoids apple at all costs i would not even sit in it.
Nobody cares
Welp, that’s why Apple shut down the project, because you wouldn’t even sit in it!
Please start using an iPhone before they shut that down too!
If you sit in it, Apple owns the right to your organ in case of an accident...or if you happen to fall asleep inside.
It's written quite clearly on the door handle!
Apple products are designed for people that want a product that does the same thing as the competition, but want to pay twice as much for it.
What if you really had to poop?
> "Morgan Stanley analysts surmised advances in self-driving could free up trillions of hours per year that Apple could address with new services and products -- a potentially enormous market."
Public transit sounds like a much better bet, imo. The tech already exists, and it can free up trillions of hours per year. We just need to improve how nice the service is, its reliability, and make it safer.
Self-driving cars exist from the beginning of the car era, they're called taxis.
I'd love to imagine the employee pretending to be Siri just sat next to the car on her phone looking up some restaurant on her phone.

Steve Jobs talks to someone about a car and we get "20 years ago Apple was thinking about making a car.". Dang, when I was 7 years old in the 1970s I thought about making a car, a spaceship, a time machine, a robot, etc... I guess I was ahead of them all.)

When corporations grow a set and decide shareholders have enough money so they make up projects they know won’t work. That money ended up in the pockets of executives and their friends. Apple is heading downhill even though they look good on paper. They haven’t innovated for a very long time.
If they actually made a cheaper "vision" series heaf unit.. and had the appstore immediately available.. it would do well
100k only? No way, i was expecting a car that cost 750k + extras, no charging cable, had half the HP of cars in the same price range, and will look exactly the same for 15 years but cost 1.5 million
