It’s helpful, I think, to consider it a trust score and not a credit score. IE, how trustworthy are you with money?

No, supposedly a small number of self driving cars would eliminate half the traffic; It doesn’t take 90%, only 2%:

There are network effects. Supposedly a 2% population would cut traffic in half.

It's kind of how Americans aren't English, though we used to be. Where we revolted, however, the Taiwanese fled because they lost.

Evidently they also like to cheat, so there is also that.

You realize she's just following in the footsteps of Shania Twain, right?

Does it really look like an Accord, from the rear, in person?

I tried being succinct. Look at Amazon, for example, which has a minuscule profit but a gargantuan P/E; I don’t disagree that this is a crucial moment for Apple, but I cannot see any other answer but market saturation. Unless other companies are pickup up the slack, Apple’s sales hit a wall because there is no more…

Sure, I agree with your assessment, but that doesn’t mean much if Apple has committed to making a car. By your assessment they shouldn’t have made the iPod, a smartphone, or a SoC, or an iPad, either, given their history of making OSes, office suites, and Macs.

Serious answers:

Tesla has had years of reports and reviews that indicate their quality, and QC, is fairly mediocre. Better than Fiat, for example, but overall below average according to Consumer Reports:

Great, you agree that anyone can make a crappy car. That’s exactly what has happened with Tesla and their model X, and that’s the bar Apple has to meet.

Nothing you said is relevant. The only question is if Apple has the capability to bring a car to market given its supply chain, design, and manufacturing experience.

That’s a clever marketing trick Apple has promoted that has left the industry as a whole incapable of copying Apple. I mean, the idea that Foxconn alone does the manufacturing and design means anyone can hire them and match Apple’s iPhone, right?

I'm sure it will be more like which car does the craziest thing yet not get in an accident.

Computers already shift faster than people. Conceivably they will also corner and weave faster too. If not we will see huge on track explosions.

Of course, but again, if Tesla can pull it off, why doubt Apple can? It’s one thing to doubt Microsoft or Google, who have not yet managed to turn their CE products into gangbusters successes, another to doubt Apple after having turning iPods into the new hotcakes, and then iPhones after that, and then being…

Building a robot is still building a robot, and Apple has mentioned in their last quarterly report to having built at least two robots. Liam 1.0 and Liam 2.0.

Tesla managed to do it. Seriously, if Tesla can manage to make a car, why not Apple?

It’s why Apple is one of the few companies I’m comfortable betting on being able to enter the market in the same way Tesla did, because they’ve made it part of their business model to create a new process and then automate the hell out of it.
