Apple gives up on making a car

[Keithr0]

It's probably just as well, being Apple, it would come at a "Premium
price point", require special Apple tyres and oil, the body would be
glued together rather than welded, and you'd have to download regular
updates through iTunes. However, it would be delivered in a very pretty
white box.

Good result, I prefer to buy cars from companies that have been in the
car business for a very long time, I don't like idea of buying a car
from a phone/computer company or any recent "start up".

Good job.

They've clearly got little to do with their time and money. Maybe they
could feel good about themselves by giving to charity or medical
research instead of wasting it on stupid projects like this.

...and don't forget - they will claim they invented the car.

Developing a new car from scratch is hugely expensive as Apple found out.
Makes no sense to me to buy a car from a start up, I prefer to buy cars
from companies that have been in the car making business for a very long
time.
