“The general idea was a simple interface, combined with seats you would normally see in a private jet or limousine. Inside, you felt like you were basically in an “ambient bubble.” This incarnation of the car can comfortably seat four people, and the seats can be swapped between regular chairs, recliners and footrests. The design of the Apple car from 2020 is roughly similar to the Canoo Lifestyle, a futuristic pickup truck with rounded edges, but with dark black windows with adjustable tint. There was a glass sunroof, a pure white exterior, and white wheels with a black center. “The front and back were the same, so it always looked like you were driving forward.”

“The previous design created by the legendary Jony Ive looked like a modern incarnation of the 1950s Volkswagen Microbus, and was internally nicknamed the Bread. The second iteration was an evolution of that and looked almost identical to the 2017 Volkswagen ID Buzz concept. This design was showcased within Apple long before VW announced its concept, and that may not be a coincidence. “Some employees left the Apple Cars group to work at the German automaker in mid-2010.”
