It is impossible for Apple to keep their self-driving car project secret (if there is one) and get some real-world experience at the same time.
How do you know they're not already testing a car in public and they can keep it a secret?
Or do you think nobody would notice a permit issued to "Ladron de Manzanas Inc" or whatever name nobody ever heard of?
Not to mention the accidents. How would Apple hide all those human-cause SDC accidents?
Occam's Razor is telling me there are no Apple SDCs on the streets, but hey, maybe they invented an invisible, aethereal SDC registered under a shell corporation that nobody became curious about :)
The plot thickens. Add a couple rocket launchers and you have a Hollywood blockbuster.
Then they'd only need to deal with the FAA, and no one is looking in that direction.
