Rumors have been building for months that Apple is building a car. If the inventors of iTunes, the iPhone, and iPad add an automobile to its list of game changers, what would it look like? How would it drive? Would it fundamentally change our lives the way groundbreaking Apple products have in the past? And what might this mean for Tesla – the other automotive disruptor from Silicon Valley? We dreamed up what we think a Apple Car could be – perhaps should be - and then pulled together this special episode of Wide Open Throttle to analyze our finished product.
