    It's going to be amazing. It will only turn right, to keep things simple, and it will only have one button to roll the windows down (they all go at once!), to keep things simple. I'm looking forward to the new, simple Apple car.

      And don't forget, they'll be 2-3 times as expensive as the other options. And only available in white.

    So let's see. an 90,000$ white sedan with no access to navigation options outside of predetermined spots in town, all powered by Apple Maps, displayed on your Jonathan Ivesque dashboard with overbright colors and iOS icons instead of actual driving parameters. People will rush to the store to buy one as soon as it's out.

    That will feed standup comedians some free material for a little while.

    All jokes aside, the car industry is definitely ripe for disruption by modern tech companies. It'll probably take a decade or two, but electric cars and true integration with all the other gadgets in your life will make a big difference in the experience of actually using a car.

    I expect many loud negative noises from car enthusiasts and people who actually enjoy manually driving a car, but technology progresses and one day soon there will be a generation that doesn't see the point of driving cars the "old fashioned" way.

      This is the primary reason why I'm a firm believer that the first place electric and/or self-driving cars should show up is in public transportation. It's an application the vehicles are practically tailored for...with lots of budget, environmental, and convenience perks.

      If/When they get used there and make good impressions, the rest of the driving world will be more accepting of the change.
