One of the best memories of my life was a fortnight cruising down the coast in a convertible with a beautiful blonde beside me. We went where we wanted, and no one knew where we were. We lived out of the car. We were free. We got married, got kids and a mortgage. Freedom over. But that is another story. Thing is, we knew we were free and the world was our oyster.

So being homeless and living in your car is freedom? And working a good-paying salary job to enable buying a home to provide for your family is imprisonment? Hmm. Why don't you sell your house and live in your car again if it's so great? Get a van and bring in the whole family.
Nah. I can’t imagine shared public vehicles ever become a thing for people who can afford to buy or lease, but I believe eventually self-driving cars will be so good it will become unthinkable to drive your own car, unless you’re a criminal or terrorist.
Just like only criminals or terrorists ride horses?
Because it will be prohibitively expensive to drive a vehicle due to insurance rates and because the perception may as well be that one is an anti-social psychopath who wants to kill people instead of take a fast and safe ride in an autopiloted vehicle like all the other 'good people'.
And how many horse-based accidents or acts of terrorism are committed annually using horses?
Maybe this leak is just to distract while Apple makes an investment in Tesla as part of the Privatization. 10 Billion would be a drop in the Bucket and Tesla could really use some Management help from Apple.

And whose fault is that? It’s already prohibitively expensive to buy a suppressor (never mind the unconstitutional extra tariffs and registrations for one). And why might that be?

Kuo actually sounds about right although I think it could be sooner. 5G will start to deploy any time now. Significant VR and autonomous car testing has been done and some patents have been filed. The whole integrated package including electrification, autonomous driving of newly architected vehicles and ride sharing needs to be tested extensively.
I have a feeling that some of Apple Physical Car's hardware work is being done at zoox. ( zoox.com ) About a year ago, 17 Apple car engineers joined zoox together as a group and I think Apple may have arranged that move. Not sure who is funding them. Zoox is extremely secretive and they appear to use autonomous technology that is patented by Apple like map-less autonomous driving.
Check out their "crab like" 4 wheel steering capable test cars.
It took over 200 years of having a stock exchange for a US company to reach a trillion dollar valuation. But Kuo thinks that same company will double in value in 5-7 years? Well, I hope he’s right...

Check Apple market cap 10 years ago!
I think the first companies to utilize “strong AI” are going to be unstoppable. Hopefully Apple has AI development as a top priority.

Seriously. Is there anyone out there that thinks an Apple Designed car would look like that?
With regard to AR glasses, I’m still having a little trouble understanding how the everyday consumer would find them useful. I was on vacation in an unfamiliar city and loved being able to have walking directions fed to me by my Apple Watch. I was discreet and didn’t scream “TOURIST” like checking my iPhone would have. Having similar functionality in glasses would be even better. But, for me, that doesn’t happen particularly often. I get it that AR glasses could potentially be very useful in different working environments, and maybe that’s what they’ll be mostly aimed at (if they come to fruition) but, again, on the consumer side I’m a little lost.
However, I also didn’t understand the use case for a tablet either. But now our house has 5 iPads. So, maybe once I see it it will all make sense.
I will say that AR glasses would certainly be superior to holding a phone or tablet in front of you. That’s a real disconnect problem if you ask me.

Superior for what? Sending texts/emails, pretty much anything in a browser (I can see the billboards already “Web surfing with AR glasses and driving kills!”), light photo/video capture/editing, Facebook, Twitter, etc. all seem like they wouldn’t be suitable for glasses.
Also, why do you think being occupied by your phone is a disconnect problem but being occupied by your AR glasses wouldn’t be?

Yeah nonsense.

Could Apple be funding them?
Apple had problems just getting a damn speaker out on time.
a car?
LOL
but then again, I just don’t see the there there with only doing an autonomous system. Many of the car manufacturers are doing their own systems.
