The Secret is Out: The Apple Car is Coming

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

I can see it now ... the iCar ... twice the price of an identical other branded car that does exactly the same thing. You can only fill up with Apple gas at iPumps, which of course costs double, it wont run on regular standard fuel and would probably only be drive-able on 5% of the world's roads. It maybe electric though, but then you cant charge at any old terminal unless you have special non-standard adapter which is a $4000 extra. It will have voice control so you can get in and ask 'Siri' or 'Steve' or whoever to take you to Tesco but it will actually ignore that and drive you to the nearest iStore. There will be an iCar owners club where members can meet up and compete with bragging rights over how much their iCar cost them and why it is worth every dollar.

Obviously the iCar will not have any Windows and it will only have one pedal.

But at least with Apple products you don't need to press click "Start" to Stop them :D

Love it.....I'm assuming it won't get you to Tescos because it'll be using 'Apple Maps' as a navigation system..... :mrgreen:
