The New York Times reports that Apple is still deciding whether to develop an electric car, a self-driving car, or both.
It is not unusual for Apple to work on several prototypes of a product at the same time, as it did with the iPhone and the iPad.
I am decidedly in the self-driving car camp.
It’s the vitamin vs. aspirin dichotomy I first heard Mark Leslie explain.
Electric cars are vitamins. They’re probably good for us and we should use them.
Self-driving cars are aspirin. We are in pain and we need them now. Driving is (often) excruciatingly painful. Self-driving cars are the solution.
