Apple’s purported car is now coming in 2019, according to The Wall Street Journal.
“People familiar with the matter” say Apple is tripling its 600-strong automotive team, and is moving forward after meeting with officials in California. Presumably, at least one of the groups Apple met with was the DMV.
