“Apple Inc. on Friday secured a permit for autonomous-vehicle testing in California,” Tripp Mickle and Tim Higgins report for The Wall Street Journal.
“The permit, awarded by California’s Department of Motor Vehicles, allows Apple to test self-driving cars on public roads in the largest U.S. state,” Mickle and Higgins report.
“An Apple spokesman declined to comment on the permit and referred to a December statement that said the company is investing machine learning and autonomous systems,” Mickle and Higgins report.

they already have an autonomous driving vehicle, it’s called the C-Suite 😉
California is the third largest state.
I, too, was wondering what happened to Alaska and Texas
CA is largest by population.
Yeah, but half aren’t U.S. citizens. 😜
You’re going to make the liberals mad on here…
That might balance out some of the past decade of anger and hatred expressed by the right and alt-right on this forum, huh?
Seriously, you guys have to get over yourselves. You pretend like the Bush Administration never existed, you bellyached incessantly for the past eight years about Obama (including crazy conspiracy theories and calls for impeachment). Now you think that you have the country by its balls with Trump in office. You will eventually discover that Trump represents a pyrrhic victory for the GOP, which is already fracturing from the illogic and inconsistency of the Trump Administration and the internal stresses between the more moderate conservative elements and the alt-right. No one on the right is going to come out of this looking good. You own the problems now, much in the same way that you blamed absolutely everything on Obama, and it is rather humorous to watch the flailing in the White House and Congress.
I am an independent hoping that this sad situation will help to fracture the poisonous two-party system that has dominated U.S. politics for far too long. Both of the political parties are to blame for the current state of affairs, although the GOP deserves the majority of the blame, imo.

Wealthy people need to look no farther than their own maids, landscapers, and the construction workers building their gazebos, pool decks…and perimeter walls. After all, the best way to cut costs and increase wealth is to pay laborers as little as possible and offer no benefits of any type.
The stink of the hypocrisy associated with the recent efforts to purge the U.S. of undocumented immigrants is overwhelming. People are quickly going to discover that many of the jobs performed by these people are critical to the daily activities of this country, and that those workers are not easy to replace. I am one of the few people in my neighborhood who mows his own lawn. No, you cannot borrow my lawnmower or string trimmer.
Perhaps Maxine Waters advised them on their US geography.
As usual, completely unnecessary irrelevant negativity.
… as usual, Sean is a negative little douchebag with no sense of humor.
Perhaps Sean’s sense of humor has simply moved out of middle school.

So, botvinnik, is this how you think a “civilized human being” writes?
“Stay woke!” – Maxine Waters, April 15, 2017

Stay woke, muh-fuh, stay woke.

That works both ways Nancy.

Now if Apple only had a human aware roadmap for their high end Mac products to drive that autonomous car alongside…
I wonder if they know that people expect new car models every year with demonstrable improvements?
Uh Ohhhhh….. Another market bites the dust due to Long Term Siesta disease in Cupertino.
NO Apple, you CAN’T just sit back on your laurels for years on ANY of your various markets.
Yes, let’s be a Me-Too in the self driving car space instead of making Macs. That’s why no new Mac Pro in 3+ years.
Oh, look! Apple car has a soldered battery and an engine welded to the frame.
Well, on the plus side, Frank, I would not have to replace torn engine mounts…
And maybe the battery would last more than 3 to 3.5 years, too…
