00:04:13 ◼   ► drivetrain everything that's slightly right so I have a link which will put [TS]

00:04:17 ◼   ► the show notes BMW X seven testing using modified 7 Series prototype exactly so [TS]

00:04:24 ◼   ► yes this looks like a next-generation G eleven seven years prototype look closer [TS]

00:04:29 ◼   ► and closer and you will see BMW has ingeniously ended waits to the roof and [TS]

00:04:33 ◼   ► inside the car and raise the hood to accommodate a different engine / intake [TS]

00:04:37 ◼   ► setup in order to air quotes test the basic x seven drivetrain package and see [TS]

00:05:56 ◼   ► with the BMW i3 which a few people wrote in justifiably little annoyed that we [TS]

00:06:01 ◼   ► didn't bring that up we did though I like I thought we thought we mentioned [TS]

00:06:04 ◼   ► the i three more discussion of the 812 you briefly brought about you but no we [TS]

00:06:08 ◼   ► didn't talk about it in the main event I think although I did mention the Smart [TS]

00:06:10 ◼   ► car and like other cars that had don't have a lot of front overhang is no [TS]

00:06:13 ◼   ► engine right right and so anyway the point being that the BMW i3 in case [TS]

00:06:18 ◼   ► you're not aware ease their I believe it's either a hybrid or pure electric is [TS]

00:06:22 ◼   ► that correct [TS]

00:06:23 ◼   ► I think its hybrid suffice to say that it looks like a very very minivan almost [TS]

00:06:28 ◼   ► like a bigger smart car so to to build upon what you were saying John that you [TS]

00:06:33 ◼   ► could construe the i three is a minivan if you didn't really know what you were [TS]

00:06:36 ◼   ► talking about even though it's you know half the size of your average American [TS]

00:06:40 ◼   ► minivan you want to talk about poaching you can put your car in the category of [TS]

00:06:47 ◼   ► stories that broke since we recorded last week's episode which were recorded [TS]

00:06:51 ◼   ► on a Wednesday as we always do this one on Wednesday shortly after re-recorded [TS]

00:06:57 ◼   ► there were more stories that put you know even more smoke to this this rumor [TS]

00:07:03 ◼   ► and I the New York Times one was you know getting engineers to build a [TS]

00:07:09 ◼   ► battery division right and you know it automaker type engineers but those [TS]

00:07:13 ◼   ► people might have expertise and also helping them build iPhone and iPad [TS]

00:07:17 ◼   ► battery sure but probably their expertise is much more involved in very [TS]

00:07:21 ◼   ► large batteries for things like cars and if you're doing car play probably don't [TS]

00:07:26 ◼   ► have any reason to get people who have expertise in building our size batteries [TS]

00:07:30 ◼   ► so there's a little bit more smoke therefore like they're doing something [TS]

00:07:34 ◼   ► other than just extending our player during matches and the like that and I [TS]

00:07:37 ◼   ► think the big one is talking about they hired a bunch of people but I was saying [TS]

00:07:42 ◼   ► wouldn t be hiring more people who are like mechanical engineers or drive train [TS]

00:07:47 ◼   ► engineers people know about building cars could always thought was like [TS]

00:07:50 ◼   ► alright fine some executives like someone's gotta leave these car people [TS]

00:07:52 ◼   ► get some executives that are not doing any way to tell people what to do [TS]

00:07:55 ◼   ► executive head of are indeed BMW that's always start with those like the couple [TS]

00:08:00 ◼   ► of handfuls big names and everything else is just an amorphous number they're [TS]

00:08:04 ◼   ► hiring about your employees and poaching themes like well where the people who [TS]

00:08:07 ◼   ► know how to build cars until 9 to 5 Mac the disputes breakdown of here's a bunch [TS]

00:08:11 ◼   ► mornings instead of just the names of the bigwigs that we are in charge of [TS]

00:08:15 ◼   ► this here's a bunch more names and if you go through these names and look with [TS]

00:08:18 ◼   ► their experience expertise are in there in things that have much more to do with [TS]

00:08:22 ◼   ► building cars are working on cars like the car part of the cars its immediate [TS]

00:08:28 ◼   ► to sit still short list is not hundreds of people have gone exhaustive head [TS]

00:08:32 ◼   ► count but it sure looks a lot more like people who would be working on an actual [TS]

00:08:39 ◼   ► car and not people who will be working on a car play yeah I agree I felt the [TS]

00:08:44 ◼   ► same way that this could be construed as a car but I'm not so convinced [TS]

00:08:48 ◼   ► especially after this 95 Mac piece if nothing else they got to be toying with [TS]

00:08:54 ◼   ► the idea of building an actual car otherwise all these hires just seemed [TS]

00:08:59 ◼   ► kinda silly to me but it's it's weird I last week I would have told you there's [TS]

00:09:05 ◼   ► a 10% chance this is actually happening insofar as they're actually even trying [TS]

00:09:09 ◼   ► to build something even if they scrapped it Jason Snell actually had a really [TS]

00:09:13 ◼   ► good piece on six colors we're in short he said well you know a lot of companies [TS]

00:09:18 ◼   ► will try things and throw some spaghetti him so all he will see what sticks and [TS]

00:09:23 ◼   ► yes sometimes it doesn't stick that's okay and that's certainly see it [TS]

00:09:26 ◼   ► certainly seems as though Apple is at the very least seeing if if they have [TS]

00:09:30 ◼   ► anything to contribute here and this man to 5 Mac peace further corroborates at [TS]

00:09:35 ◼   ► my mind [TS]

00:09:36 ◼   ► assuming it's like Apple's confirming these people but I just a big just pick [TS]

00:09:40 ◼   ► one ran their name and his last year is this David Nelson he's from from Tesla [TS]

00:09:43 ◼   ► and according to his LinkedIn a test like he was [TS]

00:09:47 ◼   ► served as the mechanical engineering manager leading a team responsible for [TS]

00:09:50 ◼   ► modeling predicting modeling prediction and verification of Motoring gearbox [TS]

00:09:55 ◼   ► performance and efficiency you do not need a mechanical engineer who knows [TS]

00:09:58 ◼   ► about motor and gearbox performance and efficiency are working on car play or a [TS]

00:10:03 ◼   ► street view things like people like this I don't know how you explain that these [TS]

00:10:08 ◼   ► people exist at all it is leaving kind of kills again at this is true the idea [TS]

00:10:12 ◼   ► that all Apple just gonna like partner with somebody and take over their entire [TS]

00:10:15 ◼   ► interior and do it like why the hell he would reduce hit someone you know her [TS]

00:10:21 ◼   ► reliability and warranty projects and modeling gear box like this is Pete [TS]

00:10:27 ◼   ► people for building a car like that and that's one less than one person from [TS]

00:10:31 ◼   ► this page you just go through them all and I don't know how you can finish them [TS]

00:10:33 ◼   ► say look if Apple hired all these people are they doing with the boat and [TS]

00:10:37 ◼   ► building a car that's the thing I mean this is we got so much feedback as a [TS]

00:10:43 ◼   ► really good feedback this week people giving us also to make sure we're going [TS]

00:10:46 ◼   ► to talk about the next few minutes all sorts of ideas a lot of people are [TS]

00:10:50 ◼   ► saying like you know what if Apple is not quite building a car but what if [TS]

00:10:54 ◼   ► they're addressing the problem of transportation in a bigger in a bigger [TS]

00:10:57 ◼   ► way maybe it's a non-traditional approach something like you know car [TS]

00:11:00 ◼   ► sharing or transportation networks of different sorts and these bigger picture [TS]

00:11:05 ◼   ► ideas at all kinda begin like well they they're gonna solve something a totally [TS]

00:11:10 ◼   ► different way and the common explanation as well maybe they're gonna build the [TS]

00:11:14 ◼   ► car OS and licensed it to car makers and or partner with so many the car for that [TS]

00:11:18 ◼   ► and i think is looking at this it is it is much more likely that they're gonna [TS]

00:11:24 ◼   ► actually they're actually trainable car than anything else like any any other [TS]

00:11:28 ◼   ► alternative explanation of what they might be doing with all these people [TS]

00:11:32 ◼   ► instead it is just looking more likely if you get the more attention to page [TS]

00:11:37 ◼   ► this the more information that comes out in bits and pieces and rumors the more [TS]

00:11:40 ◼   ► it looks like there's a lot of smoke behind this and that it is way more [TS]

00:11:45 ◼   ► likely than any other explanation that they are just trying to put a car and [TS]

00:11:49 ◼   ► then to address like the what if they do something different or what they do [TS]

00:11:52 ◼   ► something non-traditional herself a bigger problem I think that's a lot like [TS]

00:11:56 ◼   ► we have to look at every previous Apple [TS]

00:11:59 ◼   ► and like before the watch came out we were talking a little you know what if [TS]

00:12:03 ◼   ► they do something different and it's not really a watched some kind of wearable [TS]

00:12:07 ◼   ► that's not a watch but it does other things and then it came out as a note to [TS]

00:12:11 ◼   ► watch it just done well you know something like when the iPad came out [TS]

00:12:15 ◼   ► and I you know me and me and other bloggers at the time we're talking like [TS]

00:12:19 ◼   ► you know if they do a tablet how do these solve the input problem and how [TS]

00:12:24 ◼   ► big is it how they solve the problem of it being between sizes and and the [TS]

00:12:28 ◼   ► answer was they didn't solve those problems they gave me a good tablet [TS]

00:12:31 ◼   ► typically when Apple solves problems like this they they don't do something [TS]

00:12:37 ◼   ► that no one's ever heard of they just do a really good job with things that [TS]

00:12:41 ◼   ► people generally have heard of or that are cutting edge and so if they make it [TS]

00:12:46 ◼   ► look at this project to these rumors and these people everything else it sure [TS]

00:12:50 ◼   ► looks like I said it sure looks like they are making a car that's what people [TS]

00:12:53 ◼   ► are probably are probably for and if they are making a car rather than having [TS]

00:13:00 ◼   ► some kind of grand reinvention of everything it is far more likely that [TS]

00:13:04 ◼   ► they're just going to try to make a really good car in in the traditional [TS]

00:13:07 ◼   ► sense of how we know cars like I don't and you know maybe it'll be pure [TS]

00:13:10 ◼   ► electric you know that's that's fine that's that's still within the realm of [TS]

00:13:13 ◼   ► a car you know and it's very different to that later but it is just so much [TS]

00:13:18 ◼   ► more likely that the story is more boring than we all think and more boring [TS]

00:13:23 ◼   ► than a lot of people trying to predict like people are thinking that oh it's [TS]

00:13:27 ◼   ► it's out of it's just it it has to be something crazy it has to be some [TS]

00:13:31 ◼   ► sunlight cockamamie scheme to do some crazy thing in and the answer is [TS]

00:13:34 ◼   ► probably no it's probably just a car that they're hoping to be really good [TS]

00:13:39 ◼   ► yeah I'd certainly agree that there's a lot more smoke around this potential [TS]

00:13:44 ◼   ► fire that there was even just a week ago do you want you tell us about something [TS]

00:26:47 ◼   ► own special bracelet or maybe they think they need to for their particular car [TS]

00:26:50 ◼   ► but I'm assuming that they are using part suppliers in the traditional way [TS]

00:26:56 ◼   ► because that's how I started to me just getting a whole rolling chassis from [TS]

00:26:59 ◼   ► Lotus and then shoving their car inside that and then enough this is for the [TS]

00:27:05 ◼   ► Follow button to bring it up now Apple of course does the same thing you know [TS]

00:27:11 ◼   ► if you look at an iPhone you can say all that manufacture like Broadcom makes the [TS]

00:27:41 ◼   ► doesn't own the factories that make money is being made by Foxconn buy one [TS]

00:27:46 ◼   ► anyway like that's that's how Apple operates as well even more so because [TS]

00:27:55 ◼   ► spend millions possibly billions of dollars letting people install equipment [TS]
