Is Apple making an electric, self-driving car? If it does, here are 5 things you could see

The long-rumored Apple car might finally become a reality. After sputtering in development several years ago and then being shut down before it saw the light of day, the tech giant's car project is apparently back on track. Several outlets, including CNBC and the Wall Street Journal, have reported that Apple is discussing a deal to manufacture a vehicle in the U.S. Apple did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment but the company rarely discusses future products. Given Apple's status as the world's most valuable company – it's worth about $2.3 trillion on the stock market – any new product it's pursuing should be taken seriously. "We continue to believe it's a matter of when, not if, Apple enters the EV race," Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives wrote in a research note, referring to electric vehicles.
