I still don't understand what's the game that Apple is trying to play here. Manufacturing a car is completely a different business to small digital devices and the existing players are not willing to play nicely with Apple so they need to bootstrap everything from scratch, similar to Tesla. In this context, 2028 is still an extremely aggressive goal even for Apple and I won't be surprised if it's delayed to 2035 or something. Tesla had the advantage of being the first mover in the EV market and Waymo has the most advanced autonomous driving technologies. I don't see any competitive edges Apple has against them.
