#imove Apples Newest Venture, a Hybrid Car Apples imove concept car Apple is preparing to add yet another product

a hybrid car. Italian auto designer, Liviu Tudoran, has released his design for the Apple imove concept car for the year 2020.

Not forgetting the companys computer roots, the entire dashboard features a touchscreen interface and an exterior clearly reminiscent of Apples signature computer mouse.

Self-driving cars should be achievable in five years. It takes more than five years to engineer a new car from the ground up.
