Bloomberg:

Apple Inc., which has been working secretly on a car, is pushing its team to begin production of an electric vehicle as early as 2020, people with knowledge of the matter said.

The possibility of Apple building a car just took a slight turn towards the positive with this definitive quote from Bloomberg. Obviously, this is not a quote from Apple, so it is automatically suspect.

But add this bit of kindling on the rest of the stack, including the battery poaching lawsuit, which also moves the needle towards Apple investing in automobile hardware, as opposed to some form of Car OS.

We spent a lot of time discussing this on this week’s Amplified. Take a listen.
