It's a many-dimensional optimization problem, as opposed to a smartphone with one CPU, one camera, one of everything. In a car, especially in an autonomous vehicle, every design decision influences every other decision. This makes the Apple approach (understanding each detail and then specifying every design detail to be manufactured by a build-to-print manufacturer) challenging to apply to a mostly unsolved problem, i.e. autonomous driving. ☑️ RIP Apple car.
