Apple's first self driving car accident: human error

[Squid Surprise]

It _bothers_ me deeply that with all these comments, not one of you has realized this article cannot be true, not a word of it can be sourced, because Apple doesnt’ even have any ‘Apple Sensors’ to _put_ on a Lexus. In order to test their sensors, they would have already filed patents, because no way is Apple getting into the car business without rock solid patent territory clearly drawn, and that would be public knowledge. Just search for “Apple Car” and you’ll see that no such thing exists. And by “exists” I mean “no, not even that rudimentary yet.” AND I mean “NO. Not even at the stage where it would be being tested at all.” and if it WAS at that level, how do you think a bunch of yahoos like THESE guys would get ahold of that news before any other news outlet? You’re all so quick to just believe anything you read as long as it supports beliefs you already have. Reach! Stretch your world to include things you’re very offended by. You can do this! I know you’re good enough to!

It bothers ME even more deeply that you disbelieve this solely on the basis of "I can't find Apple Car in a patent search".... Did you bother to actually read the article at all? This IS NOT an Apple Car... this is a Lexus RX450h SUV equipped with Apple’s sensors and hardware....

There is no law saying that Apple's patents for sensors and hardware have to say "Apple Car" on them....

Anyways, as has also been stated in the article (and plenty of other places), Apple has long been rumoured to have a top-secret self-driving project.... while this may or may not be it, there is no reason I can see to disbelieve this article based on your "meticulous research".

If I didn't do that I would end up in an accident. It keeps me in a state of heightened alert while around others. Then between cars I can finally relax and drive alone. Give me a section of road without anyone, I can abide by the rules. Put me in a group and I will do what ever is needed to get out of the group.

Same goes for me though I'm not sure if it's a good thing...
