Apple Announcement

Jonathan Fletcher All Messages By This Member #1765 Hey, how about Apple announcing that they put the brakes on their electric car project? Another one bites the dust. Y’all better get out there and buy TWO EVs each so we can get the future started! If we don’t keep up we’re never going to get to flying cars in my lifetime! ::-) Jonathan -- Jonathan Fletcher Workplace Innovation Facilitator jonathan@... Kentuckiana FileMaker Developers Group ?

Another one bites the dust. They took a look at the market. When they first started working on it, Tesla was just a gleam in Elon’s antisemitic eyes, and there was almost no competition. Apple's project took so long that the world changed beneath their feet. Now Tesla and Rivian are established brands. Every major car company has EV and self-driving divisions. The huge Chinese EV maker, BYD, is moving into North America. It would be much harder to find their niche in this market. Also, I think they found out self-driving software is hard. I’m sure behind closed doors in Cupertino there have been dozens of projects that came and went like a ripples on a pond. The car project was different only because of its cost and notoriety. Y’all better get out there and buy TWO EVs each so we can get the future started! If we don’t keep up we’re never going to get to flying cars in my lifetime! Working on it! I’d prefer the same model as George Jetson, but I’d settle for Doc Brown’s Delorean. L^2 The future is already here; it's just not very evenly distributed. — William Gibson
