Yes, Apple is building a car

What's driving Apple's interest in cars?

Apple reached a major milestone this week. The company broke the $800 billion market capitalization barrier.

In order to keep growing, however, Apple needs to enter and conquer gigantic new markets.

Wearables and home automation gadgets will never represent a significant market compared with smartphones.

Apple's next industry has to be much bigger even than today's smartphone market, which in 2016 was a roughly $430 billion industry.

But which market? What's even bigger than smartphones?

Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty predicts the self-driving car industry will be worth $2.6 trillion per year by 2030. (Just for context, that's 13 years away. It was only 13 years ago when Apple started working on the iPhone.)
