So I guess this is really happening.

We can learn a lot about the scope of the research Apple is doing from the talent on the team, so we’ve talked to our sources and compiled a list of some key employees Apple has hired and assigned to the project.
A couple things we learn from the hires: Evident by this long list of automotive experts, it’s clear Apple’s ambitions go well beyond just its iOS-based CarPlay in-dash system. Well beyond software too, as many of the names below are hardware engineers coming from Tesla, Ford and other notable automotive related areas. In fact, the majority of employees on this list that are reporting to team leader Steve Zadesky come from an automotive hardware background and many only joined Apple recently or around the time Cook reportedly approved the electric car project.

I don't know if it will be successful, and honestly I don't consider Apple much of an innovator, but I like seeing all these new companies trying to reinvent the car. The auto industry is tied to turn of the last century ideas, business models and regulations. Even if it fails, some good innovations that Big Auto can steal might come out of it.
