I suspect any aapl product that will go into a car will be handles directly by aapl. When a custome rhas a problem - they must go to a dealer for warranty. The dealer will then have to sinc up with aapl. Most metro dealer have labor rates above 100.00 som up to 200.00. just a 1/2 hour data hook up will cost aapl $50.00 - $75.00. At those rates they'll want their traianed people tweaking the auto - especially when looking at liabiltiy issues. Autonomous auto are even scarier - YIKES Bob

If Musk and Tesla did it, so can Cook and Apple.

> Perhaps they might partner with Tesla I think that rumor is over. Apple is in a bidding war over engineers. > People want a CHEAP car that drives nice, but has a lot of cool electronic features. I think Toyota proved that people want reliability. Personally I have no need for electronic features except a good stereo.
