I suppose you could say this is well “Off Topic” but interesting perhaps. We or most of us have Apple Gear this and that whether it be iPhones / iPads / Computers / i-Play etc......
it has just been mentioned that talks are taking place on the possibility of an Apple Car appearing again and some facts are attached and as can be seen several different designs - Dave 🤨

In 2014, Apple began working on "Project Titan," with upwards of 1,000 car experts and engineers developing an electric vehicle at a secret location. After several years of internal problems, internal leadership issues, and other problems impacted the car project and in 2016 rumors even suggested Apple shelved plans for a car, but the most recent information indicates Apple has overcome development problems and is moving forward with plans to develop a consumer-facing autonomous vehicle.
In December 2020, it was confirmed that Apple was indeed still working to launch a self-driving car with plans to release a vehicle in three to six years. Apple has held discussions with Hyundai and other automobile manufacturers and there were rumors that Apple and Hyundai would ink a deal by March 2021 with an aim to start production in 2024.
Despite all the rumors of an Apple / Hyundai-Kia partnership, Apple paused the talks and has also been discussing Apple Car plans with other automobile manufacturers.
Hyundai and its Kia affiliate confirmed in February 2021 that they are not in discussions with Apple to cooperate on the development of a self-driving electric vehicle.
Apple also allegedly approached Nissan about a potential partnership, but negotiations were brief and did not make it up to executive levels due to disagreements over Apple Car specifics.
Apple is in Japan meeting with Toyota executives about producing its long-rumored Apple Car by 2024. Executives at Apple, the world's most valuable company by market cap, are meeting with the Japanese automaker in Asia, as it tries to lay the groundwork for suppliers to help build the vehicle in the next few years.
The above are just some points on the way things have gone, more info’ is Attached :

This car will be perfect for all those CEOs feeling that ... Tesla, Porche and Audi EVs are cheap cars.
People will queue and sleep for many weeks outside Apple-car dealers !
