Apple to Buy Tesla?

[thstone]

I have two words for y'all: automotive telematics

The next big fight is going to be over who "owns" your car dashboard: Apple, Microsoft, or Google.

Just remember, you read it here first.

Dovetail this into the "Technologist vs Simplifier" thread.

I hope Porsche will continue to offer drivers cars but right now I'm a little concerned with the direction Porsche is going.

Are you a Technologist or a Simplifier? Is your Boxster the best Porsche drivers car or will you one day go for a newer more technology laden Porsche?

Disable everything, and let the driver be the master of the machine.

And if one argues that driver aids are necessary to control 500+ HP cars, let's concede that this is valid. But then again, we don't NEED 500+ HP cars to enjoy the driving experience.

Just sayin'........
