Now that we've all got over the fact that Apple is making and selling a smartwatch, the rumor mill needs a new product to focus on — and an Apple Car seems to be the most popular choice. We know the company is looking for locations to test some kind of automobile technology, other industry firms have hinted at Apple's plans, and fans have been working on mock-ups of what the new vehicle might look like.
Now Reuters is reporting that Apple has poached a high-profile, senior engineer from Tesla, another company making great strides in the 21st century motor industry. Jamie Carlson has swapped Elon Musk for Tim Cook in the CEO stakes according to his LinkedIn profile, and given Carlson's history it would seem to confirm that Apple has plans of some kind in this area. He worked on Tesla's automated self-driving technologies and before that was busy developing “automotive vision systems” for Gentex Corp.
