Apple is working on something related to self-driving cars, but don't expect an iCar to pick you up from work any time soon.。

There's everything and nothing to be learned from this quote. Apple could be working on self-driving tech, but it could also be something completely different. Apple may offer an autonomous car-related product in the future, but it could also just be technology that's merged with other products, like CarPlay.。
Numerous reports offer a bit more insight, though. Apple was long rumored to be looking to build a car -- according to one account, Steve Jobs expressed interest in such a project back in 2008. Apple's ambition in the space, according to reports, shrunk, and the company narrowed its focus to developing self-driving software. 。
A self-driving car, probably belonging to Apple, was recently spotted in California, but it was a Lexus car with Velodyne sensors, which reinforced the notion that Apple's focus is self-driving software. Business-wise, Apple is already involved in the space, having invested $1 billion in China's ride-sharing service, Didi Chuxing, which reportedly opened a self-driving lab in Mountain View, California.。
While Cook's statements don't bring anything new to the table, the fact that he considers autonomous systems to be a "core technology" is exciting -- provided it's not hyperbole. 。
