I posted the below the other day, which I found interesting at the time, but I'm even more interested now .. with our new CEO and his ties to Apple. I thought I would repost again because with this appointment I'm even more convinced. ........

Really interesting read. Apple have certainly not developed their own tech for this. Totally shrouded in secrecy and the timing ... well ... that's just my opinion.

"The autonomy itself is a core technology," Cook said in April. "If you step back, the car, in a lot of ways, is a robot. An autonomous car is a robot. And so there's lots of things you can do with autonomy. And we'll see what Apple does."We've also heard rumors about Apple partnering with various car makers and electronics specialists to help turn its plans into reality. That could well suggest that a real, physical Apple Car is on the way, rather than a suite of software programs designed to plug into other vehicles - but, equally, Cook has strongly suggested Apple is more interested in the software side of autonomous driving, rather than a fully-fledged vehicle.More recently, reports suggested that Apple was going to follow Tesla's lead and take care of every part of the car-making process, from on-board software to wing mirrors. If and when it finally does appear, it'll be one of the biggest launches in Apple history, and give established car makers something serious to think about should it appear.
