Ah Jony Ive, first he ruined iOS 7 and now this constant need to tinker with things that work fine. I love the hardware design but please leave the software and HID bit alone... of course YMMV
P.S. Anyone feel iOS usability has been going down with the move to a flat design?

They probably realized that designing a safe (to their standards) self-driving car is equivalent to strong AI.

#5Why does the tech industry focus on self-driving cars so much? It's absolutely never going to happen, ever.
The world would be much better off if we converted our roads to a rail/streetcar system and drop the personal car concept entirely.
The hype around this is worse than VR.

#8This is the right way. Building a mass market car is an enormous exercise. We have seen this with Tesla, which has thrown money at the problem and will still take 4 years to become mass market (2.5 already over + another 1.5 years). After these 4 years, its unclear what the value add will be.

Nope. Flat design for iOS was Apple's best move. iOS 7 was what made iOS amazing. I have no clue what you're talking about. Full credit to Jony Ive, some of the UI design I've seen.
