An interesting post by San Francisco Chronicle reports that Apple's iCar concept may not be as far-fetched as it sounds. Apple reportedly had a meeting with Tesla a while back and the purpose of their discussion was to buy the automaker.
According to her publication San Francisco Chronicle"In October 2013, investment analyst Adnaan Ahmad caused a stir in the media when he wrote an 'open letter' to Apple CEO Tim Cook calling for the company to acquire Tesla."
"Six months before Ahmad's letter, Musk met with Perica and possibly Cook at Apple headquarters, the source said, and they discussed something that remained secret to protect business relationships."
Some could assume that the meeting could have been about integrating iOS into future Tesla cars, but this is no reason for such secrecy.
So, perhaps seeing an iCar may not be a utopia.
The publication also reports that Bill Kreher, an analyst at Edward Jones Investments in St. Louis, said: “Apple must rely more and more on news products to rekindle growth beyond what Steve Jobs envisioned. They need the next big product.”
