Apple’s “significant contribution” to the car industry

Asymco:

Apple has made a “significant” market entry in phones and others have made entries in cars. If we contrast the rate of growth of Tesla, EVs, and Hybrids to the rate of growth of iPhones in their respective US markets, we obtain a test of significance.

A typically thoughtful post from Dediu. It assumes Apple’s “Cook Doctrine” won’t change in the future and, if so, points to the unlikelihood of Apple making their own car – which I agree with. Given the information in this post, there’s no chance Apple will come out with its own line of cars, any more than they will come out with their own line of HD TV sets.
