Deviant Art has an idea of what the Apple iCar might look like. If it is like this, it would definitely get peoples attention.

It could be totally impractical but still kind of neat looking; IMO.

That car is pretty funny, as in Pretty and Funny. Yes, there's about 5 major things that would have to change, then it wouldn't look the same. For one thing they would need to put in a drive train, or at least one technically feasible.

But as it sits, it's perfect for 'Burning Man' adventures, LOL

Perhaps they use a similar system as used in the Ryno one wheel motorcycle, it could work? Perhaps they would only have to put the batteries (or extra ones) in the cabin space? They would not have to balance it since it has three wheels.

Ryno Motors.

Just thinking out loud. :cool:

Haven't we learned anything about APPLE, their product will knock the socks off anything we can imagine, -they got 200 folks working on it, with a 10 year plan to production
I've had various Apple products since 1986, the lesson learned is that you only buy disposable products from them as they only provide support for two years before releasing a software update that will render the product unusable. Apple is a master of planned obsolescence - to the point that I think a class action lawsuit would be justified for nearly every product they have ever released - even more so than the lightbulb industry.
