www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/apple-car-...While there are some partnerships here and there, it's worth pointing out that much of the development we've seen thus far is proprietary: the bigger manufacturers are going their own way. For them, autonomy is a point of differentiation to elevate them above the rest. Rather than partnering up to share expertise, most manufacturers are content to toil away on their own, largely duplicative efforts in the hope of getting to market first with smarter, safer technology.
Slim-pickings for Apple
If the major OEMs are doing their own thing, Apple is going to have to target the smaller ones, those without bottomless R&D budgets. I'm thinking of brands like Subaru, which isn't even planning on having any kind of semi-autonomous functionality on the road until after 2020. Subaru could surely use some help from a tech powerhouse like Apple -- though whether or not the company's cars jibe with Apple's design aesthetic remains to be seen.
