I believe Apple can do that and even find fans who would be willing to pay $100,000-$200,000 just because it is so good that it is even better than Tesla and Toyota Mirai. Only occasional glitches... like everyone else has.

More evidence that the Apple car project is continuing to be a failure.

By this silly harebrained logic it’s also “evidence” that Tesla is a failure - they lost him first!

Nah. You’re not an analyst, just an anti-fan. It’s always bad news for you guys. 

Maybe she/he/they is just skeptical about Apple ability in completely new area. Did you think about that?

Sounds like the heavy lifting is done. QC and testing galore coming up. Looking forward to seeing disguised development mules on the road. 
Can't wait for this thing to launch.

You are funny. Try again. I know one engineer who left Apple after conflict with managers who have no clue on QC and automated testing in macOS development (and he came from finance where testing is almost fully automated and very strict). He was in GM working on autonomous and now is in Amazon Zoox (I gave him professional references as we worked for six years together). It takes years to develop it. I heard from him that GM was already riding on San Francisco roads and passed the tests... yet no word on final results.

Maybe Apple cannot decide if they should go autonomous or just electric. Strategy choice can be a killer to ideas and to talented headcount.

I am just working on finding out design philosophy of my shoe laces. I know they are special as I discarded original once and they have special construction and shape to help with loosening tie when walking and doing footwork (seriously you can buy them on Amazon). But I still wonder philosophy that one can make for them...

All of these millennial or Gen Z snowflakes are torpedoing their careers.  They are going to wake up 10 years from now wondering how the f* everything up so bad 

God forbid anyone actual cares about anything except themselves.  I'm hoping the movement towards ethical Capitalism, which there's a fair bit of support for even at the investor level these days, gains some momentum from cases like this.

Bare minimum is enough. Excessive stress and we end up in socialism. I lived in it so, do not get me started. The outcomes are terrible on human lives so, as they say about something else "good socialist is..." I am not going to finish, but you can guess. And as far as ethical Capitalism that is what Carl Marx should have done instead of his dumb pile of garbage he wrote in "Capital" and published in 1853 just after capitalist revolution took place  around the world and it did not have human face for many decades. then 20 century came with tens of millions dying form socialism of different forms starting from national socialism (Nazi) in Germany.
