Longstanding speculation that Apple will release its own electric, self-driving car was reignited last week when Reuters, citing unnamed sources, reported that Apple plans to produce a passenger vehicle by 2024.
Talk of the iPhone maker's ambitions to break into the auto industry has been swirling for about five years. Expectations for the effort, named Project Titan, range fromthe company developing its own Apple-branded car toproviding operating system software to existing car manufacturers.

In April 2017, Apple received a permit from the California Department of Motor Vehicles to test self-driving vehicles there.

I know there's a lot of jokes to be made but I'd be cautiously optimistic about this. This definitely isn't an area Apple would branch out into if they weren't sure they had a good product, and there may be a few things they do that end up be becoming industry standard.

How long before they hamstring older cars like they do their phones and computers.

Apple is THE company that personifies anti-right to repair/consumer rights, you think tesla is bad for repairs? the i-car will blow that out of the water.
