“Car magazine Motor Trend caused a stir on Wednesday when it teased images of what it called the Apple Car. Some people thought the renderings — released on Motor Trend’s Twitter feed — were leaked images of the still-in-development Apple Car,” Daisuke Wakabayashi reports for The Wall Street Journal. “But, in reality, the images are part of a cover story out Thursday that the magazine put together, speculating what the highly anticipated vehicle might look like.”
“The magazine consulted automobile designers from ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, Calif. and asked them to conceptualize the Apple Car as though the company had come to them as a customer,” Wakabayashi reports. “Apple Inc. declined to comment.”
