Car is Life

The Apple Car is what the media has taken to calling the electric car project that's rumored to be in development at Apple under the code name "Project Titan."
Apple is said to have hundreds of employees working on creating an electric vehicle at a secret location near its Cupertino headquarters. Little is known about the car, but sources have suggested early prototypes may resemble a minivan. The car may or may not include self-driving technology -- rumors have thus far disagreed on this point, but the latest news suggests the first version will not be autonomous.
The Apple Car is in the early stages of development, and Apple is still in the process of recruiting people for the project and meeting with car makers and automotive suppliers. The project was being led by Steve Zadesky, VP of Product Design, but he left the company, causing some disruption to Apple's plans. As project lead, Zadesky played a role in recruiting hundreds of employees for the project, many from within Apple.
In September of 2015, the Apple Car was upgraded to "committed project" status, meaning Apple is focus even more attention on its development......

....Apple's massive hiring spree has led Tesla CEO Elon Musk to refer to the Apple Car as an "open secret" in the car industry. According to Musk, the hundreds of engineers Apple has taken on make it clear there's an electric car in the works. "It's pretty hard to hide something if you hire over a thousand engineers to do it," he said.
Apple has been searching for a place in the Bay Area where it can begin testing vehicle prototypes and Apple executives have been speaking to the DMV about vehicle regulations, moves that suggest Apple's interest in a car is serious. Apple may team up with an established manufacturer to produce the Apple Car, and while talks with Daimler and BMW fell through, Magna Steyr is thought to be a candidate for partnership. Chrysler Fiat is planning to partner up with Google parent company Alphabet for its self-driving cars, and has said it would also be open to a partnership with Apple.
We don't know what the Apple Car will look like, but based on Apple's existing product line and its desire to expand iOS beyond the iPhone and the iPad, we can assume that any Apple-produced car will integrate deeply with the iPhone.
