Rumor Mill: The Apple Car

One of the great mysteries of the self-driving car industry is what, if anything, Apple is building.

A related question is where are they building it?

Like most watchers, I assumed Apple was building its car in Cupertino, and there have been rumors and leaks to that effect.

But a German newspaper recently reported that maybe Apple is building its car team in Berlin.

Working backwards, there is some logic to this.

  1. Apple is famously secretive and Berlin is more discrete and lower-profile than Silicon Valley.
  2. Germany has a lot of great automotive engineers.

Or this could turn out to be just another unsubstantiated rumor about the Apple Car.
