Apple car debuting as early as when?!
Reports have surfaced that the Apple Electric – possibly self driving- car that has lately hit the rumor mill with a vengeance will be debuting as early as 2020.
2020! That’s a very short 5 years away.
This ads to rumors that Apple is looking to buy Tesla (whilst Elon Musk has his interests in SpaceX and in batteries) and has suffered from a lawsuit claiming that Apple has poached vital and under contract engineers from Electric-car battery maker A123 Systems. They are also purported to have hired engineers from Ford, GM, MIT Motorsports, Ogin, Autoliv, Concept Systems, and General Dynamics.
It’s interesting to think about Apple’s entry into such a huge new industry- considering that to buy General Motors they would only need to access 10% of their cash stockpile, it’s an interesting, intriguing and entirely possible new direction they seem to be turning.
As always it remains to be seen whether this project will actually come to fruition or not. We’ll keep you up to date with all the rumors until then!
What do you guys think, would you buy an electric car from Apple?
