"Trust us, you don't need to see where you're going."

To clarify, and to remove any doubt as to whom exactly is being recognized, we are naming Apple Inc. as the week’s top knucklehead. Should we therefore pluralize the honor by calling them “knuckleheads of the week?” Or should we simply consider Apple Inc. to be a singular entity and therefore just one big “knucklehead?” We’ll leave that detail for others to decide.
As one might expect with a product from Apple, their new “concept” vehicle is full of bells and whistles, many of which Apple has understandably submitted for patent protection. It’s an electric vehicle, naturally, and one of the more groundbreaking aspects of the car is it autonomous driving functionality. Self-driving vehicles have already been in production for several years, but we can only imagine the new dimensions to which Apple has taken those ideas.
Additionally, according to VR Scout, Apple is counting on its virtual-reality centric entertainment system to be a major selling point:

Therefore, we’re left to ask the following: Exactly why does Apple and the two companies they’ve worked with to produce this vehicle – Concept Creator and Letsgodigital – think it’s a good idea to try and market a vehicle that’s sure to cost six-figures yet requires passengers to sit in what amounts to a claustrophobic, panic-inducing coffin?

“Nina Jankowicz sent me. Please get in, Dave.”
Yuck!
Drive by feel. See plenty of that today.
Where are the mouse buttons and scroll wheel?
The joke’s on everyone, Apple put wheels on it’s mouse and called it The Car!
Submit your physical self to total control by the Tech Oligarchs. Sure, that will sell to some...
Nice looking mouse. Now where’s the car?
Apparently it’s not about the journey, but the destination.
It actually reminds me of the limos in the movie, “Freejack”.
Self driving cars will be government driven cars.
Windows should be adjustable to taste at any time, both in color and transparency. Vehicle should not make ground contact except when necessary. Give it another few eecades, and give nuclear a better chance.
So much for sightseeing and watching the scenery pass by.
I don’t think so, Tim.
Is it for Mars?
I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.
Nope
Where’s the opening for my dog to hang his head out of and sniff the scenery?
