In a story released by The Wall Street Journal today, Apple has announced that they are continuing to work on their Apple Car (codename: Project Titan), and that it will be available to the public as early as 2019. A single cell of Steve Jobs’ disembodied brain is said to be installed inside the computer of each. That last part is not true, but the cars will think for themselves, as it were.

The original plan and rumor about the Apple Car was that it would be a fully autonomous, self-driving car, although Apple representative Daisuke Wakabayashi announced that the vehicle would only be partly autonomous. This follows discussions that Apple was having with the California DMV about how to regulate a self-driving car.
This is either the next major step in travel technology – self-driving cars – or a strange ambitious bungle; few consumers are currently comfortable with cars that drive themselves. But if Apple continues its market dominance, we may see a future where you’ll never get lost, and you can nap alone on the way to work.
