Apple testifies in court that it once considered making a car

In the ongoing court battle between Apple and Samsung over copyrights and patents, Apple's senior vice president of worldwide marketing took the stand yesterday. The majority of his testimony was centered around tablets and smartphones, and what defines intellectual property, but at one point he revealed a big nugget. Schiller told the court that Apple had been considering other projects well before smartphones, including a camera, and designing a car.
Schiller also claimed that Samsung copied, stole, and ripped-off Apple's designs in creating their own smartphones.
While Google is the tech giant most heavily involved in the automobile business with its autonomous car, it is unclear what direction Apple would have taken. Perhaps a new system of touch screen gestures to control the car. We can't be sure, other than to speculate based on a single comment from a lengthy testimony on tablets and smartphones.

Imagine if Apple made a car...you can't change the oil, the wheels will be welded to the rotors making tire change impossible. You will also be forced to upgrade your car every 11 months or else risk being labled uncool if you ever gets seen in public in your "old" apple car. The navagation will also have a crappy maps system.
