If that car they're alleged to be working on isn't absolutely ground-breaking, I don't see where Apple has to go in terms of growth
What I've seen lately shows a pivot from a car to self driving technology. Probably a smarter move for them anyway, create and sell the tech, get it into the hands of a manufacturer, and let them do what they're good at. Win/Win for everyone. Although CarPlay runs on QNX, which is actually Blackberry. Sooooo.... there's that.
