Apple Autonomous Car?

Watch out! It's a blog fly!VRScout: “It was back in 2014 that Apple first began the development of its own automotive vehicle. After years of radio silence, reports began circulating that the company had switched gears and was now working on a self-driving vehicle that requires no input on behalf of the passengers. As such this autonomous car would lack any and all driver controls, including a steering wheel and foot pedals.”

I don’t believe in self driving cars. At least not one that is supposed to do it without full buy in from local, state, and federal transportation.

If you want to make an autonomous vehicle you need new roads with technology built in to provide a “track” for vehicles to follow. The cars navigation system would talk to the track in the road to know when to switch lanes, signal, turn, etc. All one integrated system.

All this use built in LiDAR, cameras, ML and “AI” to do the job is a hack.

Also, I know that picture of the car is just some mock-up, but it’s flat out ugly in my opinion.
