How much do you think it would be???       

A team of tech analysts from Jefferies & Co have thrown their hats in the ring, suggesting what they predict will be the price of Apple's iCar. The team suggested that the iCar is likely to have a price tag of around $55,000, which translates to around £36,000 at the time of writing. That makes it almost half the price of Tesla's Model S in the UK, which could give the fruit-shaped company a much-needed advantage in the electric car industry.

Rumors are continuing to trickle in about Apple's long-expected car project. On Wednesday, CNBC reported that Apple is close to finalizing a deal for an Apple Car to be manufactured at Kia's assembly plant in West Point, Georgia, an hour southwest of Atlanta. Apple is a famously secretive company, and I don't have any inside information about Apple's plans. But I'm skeptical that whatever product Apple ultimately unveils will match CNBC's description of it.

According to CNBC, the Apple Car, due out in 2024 or 2025, will be "fully autonomous." One source told CNBC that Apple is aiming to make "autonomous, electric vehicles designed to operate without a driver and focused on the last mile." CNBC predicts that the cars could be used for food delivery or in a robotaxi service.

If true, that would represent a dramatic departure for Apple. A central feature of Apple's corporate culture is that it sells hardware products directly to users. There are technology companies like IBM and Microsoft that focus on selling to business customers. There are technology companies—from Uber to Google—that focus on building services.

But while Apple does run some services and does of course sell products to businesses, neither activity has been Apple's focus. Apple's flagship products—the original Macintosh, the iPod, the iPhone, the iPad, the Apple Watch, and so forth—have always been designed as consumer-focused hardware products. It's hard to believe that Apple, already taking a risky leap into a new industry, would simultaneously toss aside a core aspect of its business philosophy.

Hope it comes with battery and not sold separately.

Now as we are still waiting for the Apple Car, a Chinese engineer tried to hand Apple's trade secrets over to a Chinese autonomous driving tech company. Let's hope we can still see the latest car technology from Apple Car soon.
