Steve Jobs considered an Apple-built car back in 2008

<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>While Apple is currently said to have had an electric car (http://www.imore.com/./apple-car) in the pipeline for the last few years, late Apple co-founder and CEO Steve Jobs (http://www.imore.com/./steve-jobs) was already apparently thinking about it 2008. According to former iPod chief Tony Fadell, though it was never a project, he and Jobs used to discuss what different aspects of an Apple-made car would look like.</p> <!--break--> <p>From Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-04/steve-jobs-considered-building-an-apple-car-in-2008):</p>

<p>"We had a couple of walks," Fadell said in an interview with Bloomberg's Emily Chang. The pair posed hypothetical questions to each other, such as: "If we were to build a car, what would we build? What would a dashboard be? And what would this be? What would seats be? How would you fuel it or power it?"</p>

<p>If recent reports are to be believed, times have changed. Apple is said to be hard at work on an electric vehicle, targeting a launch date of 2019 or 2020. The company has reportedly already taken meetings with the California Department of Motor Vehicles to discuss autonomous vehicles as well.</p> <p>Source: Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-11-04/steve-jobs-considered-building-an-apple-car-in-2008)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
