That’s how in investing in R&D works. Sometimes it does not pan out. It’s a lot of money for many, but apple can afford such programs.

Just imagine the investments they made during this process. Better than hoarding the wealth.

Apple will take what it learned from the car project and apply it to other devices like AI-powered AirPods with cameras, robot assistants, and augmented reality.

At first I parsed that to mean the AirPods would include robot assistants, and I was picturing people with autonomous robotic arms protruding from their ears.

BYD is definitely impressive, but they have the backing of the Chinese state. On the other hand, Tesla is a targeted company. Look at the history of Tesla’s regulatory battles at all levels and it’s unbelievable how they have consistently come out on the other side.
