A major shift for the Apple Car: Apple has scaled back from a fully autonomous vehicle without a steering wheel and pedals to one that can only self drive on highways in an effort to launch by 2026 for under $100K. Many new details on the project: https://www.bloomberg.com/...

You know, I'm just going to say again, @comma_ai can do this for over 200 different make/models of cars for under $3000. I've ordered my second unit and looking forward to installing it on my 2017 RAV4 when I have a spare moment on the weekend. https://twitter.com/...

I'm reading “After Steve” and it describes how the car project was basically an olive branch from Tim Cook to certain teams who were looking for the next big thing. I think it's fair to say it hasn't worked out and should've been canceled long ago. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

If “under $100K” seems like a steep starting price, the story notes that Apple was earlier looking at $120K and up for this notional vehicle. The car for the rest of us, it ain't. https://twitter.com/...

Not surprised about this delay. If the plan is to wait until 2026 to produce highway-only autonomy, the project should be scrapped yesterday. https://www.bloomberg.com/...

harsh reality: the tech for true driverless cars just isn't there and won't be anytime soon. you're either making huge compromises or you have vaporware. https://www.bloomberg.com/... https://twitter.com/...

No technology demo has so misled companies to waste time and money like self driving cars. Billions spent by some of the smartest technology companies in the world only to realize at best all we're going to get is slightly better cruise control. https://twitter.com/...

Vaporcar still vaporous. Apple has scaled back ambitious self-driving plans for its future electric vehicle and postponed the car's target launch date by about a year to 2026, sources say https://www.bloomberg.com/... via @technology
